Hoax of Petrol Subsidy
1 barrel of crude oil yields 150 litre of petrol.
1 US Dollar = Rs. 62 (as on 28th Feb 2014). Average price of 1 barrel of crude oil =
95.46 USD = Rs.
(95.46 x 62) = Rs. 5890
Refining, transportation, commission per barrel = Rs. 786
Production cost of 150 litre petrol = Rs. 5890 + Rs. 786
= Rs.6676 Production cost of 1 litre petrol = Rs. 44
Rs. 44
IMPACTS
GOVERNMENT BUDGET
If fuel prices are hiked:
Benefits central and state governments.
The Centre has a lower subsidy to pay out, but state governments' tax revenues on fuel also go up. Revenues that states earned from oil sector were Rs 126,512 crore in 2012-13, far above the subsidy paid to oil companies.
If prices remain same:
The petroleum subsidy is set to rise, though again it is worth noting that governments have usually earned more from the petroleum sector than they pay in subsidies to it.
OIL COMPANIES
If fuel prices are hiked:
As of September 1, oil marketing companies have reported an underrecovery, of Rs 12.12 per litre of diesel sold.
A significant hike could reduce that amount.
If prices remain same:
Under-recoveries will rise though the actual loss faced by oil companies is unclear.
But PSU oil companies will face a liquidity crunch and will be forced to raise short-term borrowings.
Political Impact National Strikes Escape clause for rise in subsidy
Automobile Sector Diesel vs Petrol cars Decrease in car sales
“Annual car sales declined for the first time in 11 years in 2013 posting a 10 per cent decline to 18.07 lakh units. ”
Inflation
Rough estimates show that a ten percent rise in the price of diesel (around Rs 5 per litre in Delhi) will raise inflation rates by 0.6 percentage points.
