## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS (SHRI SURESH GOPI)

(a) to (c): Prices  of  petrol  and  diesel  in  the  country  are  market-determined  and  the  Public Sector  Oil  Marketing  Companies  (OMCs)  take  appropriate  decision  on  pricing  of  petrol  and diesel.

Government  makes  fiscal  interventions  whenever  necessary  to  calibrate  the  tax  structure applicable for petroleum products. Central Excise duty was reduced by the Central Government by  a  total  of  Rs.  13/litre  and  Rs.  16/litre  on  petrol  and  diesel  respectively  in  two  tranches  in November 2021 and May 2022, which was fully passed on to consumers. In March, 2024, OMCs reduced the retail  prices of petrol  and diesel by  Rs. 2 per litre each.  But in April 2025, when excise duty on Petrol and Diesel was increased by Rs. 2 per litre each it was not passed on to consumers.

Recently due to the West Asia crisis, international crude oil prices have risen significantly. To protect consumers from its impact, Government has decided to absorb a part of this burden and has reduced the excise duties on petrol and diesel by Rs. 10 per litre each.

PSU OMCs have also carried out an intra-state freight rationalisation to reduce price differentials within a state.

The impact of increase/decrease in prices of petrol and diesel, including agricultural operations, can be assessed through their impact on inflation measured by Wholesale Price Index (WPI). The combined weightage of Petrol and Diesel in the WPI index is 4.7%.

The district wise details of Retail Selling Prices (RSP) of Petrol and Diesel as on 1 st April  of every year since 2023 in the state of Telangana are given at Annexure.
