Govt has permitted oil companies to increase diesel price by 45 paise a month
Bulk consumers will have to pay market price, to be revised every fortnight; Consumers would get nine subsidised cooking gas cylinders a year, instead of six at present. Unwilling to announce a hike in diesel price, the government on Thursday allowed oil marketing companies to increase the price in small doses periodically and bring it in line with global rates. To begin with, an immediate increase of 45 paise a litre was announced for sales through retail outlets, while bulk consumers, which add Rs 12,907 crore to the subsidy burden, would have to pay market price, to be revised every fortnight.
