(d)&(e): Profitability of  exporting Motor Spirit (MS) and High Speed Diesel (HSD) compared with Refinery Transfer Price (RTP) depends on prices actually quoted by the  buyer  on  export  tenders  and  the  RTPs  prevalent  during  export  period  as  RTP pricing cycle and export price cycles are different.
