From May 2014 to April 2018: Chart of petrol and diesel prices under Modi govt

Written By DNA Web Team | Updated: Apr 20, 2018, 08:03 PM IST

Petrol and diesel prices continued to rise, hitting multi-year highs. Petrol prices were raised by 1 paisa on Friday while diesel prices increased by 4 paise.

Petrol prices in Delhi went up to Rs 74.08 per litre in Delhi, the highest since 2013. In Kolkata, it retailed at Rs 76.78, Rs 81.93 in Mumbai and Rs 76.85 in Chennai.

In Delhi, diesel prices retailed at a record high of Rs 65.31, while it was Rs 68.01 in Kolkata, Rs 69.54 in Mumbai and RS 68.9 in Chennai.

Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan blamed the international market for the price rise. He said: “Price jump in the international market is the highest in past 4 years, it is due to reasons like the situation in Syria & US' threat of imposing sanctions on Iran, due to these reasons prices have shot up.”

He added: “Govt is concerned about it. We will have to bring petroleum products into GST & states, as well as centre, are slowly moving towards it. But, the hike is basically due to price jump in international market.”

The prices are at a 55-month high. This led to a rebuke from former FM P Chidamabram. In a series of tweets, the former Finance Minister said the BJP boasts that it is ruling 22 states but why does the NDA government refuse to bring petroleum and petroleum products under GST.

"For the last four years, the BJP government has lived off an oil bonanza. Minus the oil bonanza, the BJP government is clueless and floundering. Even a school child knows the answer. It is because of the 'Tax the Consumer' policy of the BJP government," he said.

Chidambaram said crude oil price at USD 74 per barrel are still lower than USD 105 four years ago. "So, why are Petrol/Diesel prices higher today than they were in May 2014?," he asked.

The BJP-led government had raised excise duty nine times between November 2014 and January 2016 to shore up finances as global oil prices fell, but then cut the tax just once in October last year by Rs 2 a litre.

Price on April 19, 2018: Delhi (Rs 74.07) Kolkata (Rs 76.77), Mumbai (RS 81.92) and Chennai (Rs 76.84).
