The government on Tuesday stated that it has agreed in principle to deregulate diesel prices. Minister of state for finance Namo Narain Meena, in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha, said on Tuesday that the government is, however, not considering a similar proposal for cooking gas.
The minister said the “government has, in principle, agreed to make the prices of diesel market-determined”. Though petrol prices are market-linked, the government fixes the rates of LPG, kerosene and diesel. The minister, however, added that the government continues to fix the price of diesel in order to shield the common man from the impact of rising crude oil prices and the resulting inflation.
