Domestic petrol and diesel rates are directly benchmarked against international crude oil prices, and with oil prices soaring in the last two months, state-owned fuel retailers needed a price hike just to break even.
Now, with petrol and diesel prices increasing by Rs 10 per litre over 14 revisions since March 22, sources told CNBC-TV18 that “sustained fuel price hikes may not be needed if crude prices stabilise at current levels”.
According to the sources cited by the channel, the current domestic retail fuel prices are benchmarked to international crude oil at $95 per barrel. With the last week’s Brent crude oil prices at not more than $100 per barrel, the sources indicated that domestic fuel prices could again be put on a freeze for some time.
At the same time, they also stated that oil marketing companies (OMCs) may still recover about a month’s worth of losses.
