The Future Ai

Sujata Sharma, joint secretary in the ministry of petroleum, said there was no proposal before the government to support oil marketing companies incurring losses due to under-recoveries while keeping the retail prices of petrol, diesel and domestic LPG frozen.Responding to a query during a press briefing on West Asia developments, Sharma said the government was trying to protect retail consumers despite high volatility in global crude prices. She said there was no increase in the retail prices of petrol, diesel and domestic LPG, even though supplies were disrupted due to the war in West Asia, and only the rates of bulk or industrial diesel and commercial LPG – used by hotels and restaurants – had been increased.
