Power crisis drives diesel demand up 8 % in 2011-12 [1]

Power cut-induced surge in demand during the second half of 2011-12 in both retail and bulk consumer segments pushed up diesel sales in the country by eight per cent over the previous fiscal. For the state-owned oil marketing companies, however, there was little to cheer as the growth only added to the mounting under-recoveries. Oil companies put the under-recovery at Rs.14 for every litre sold by them.
