In the face of rising petrol and diesel prices, Union petroleum minister Hardeep Singh Puri stated on Friday that oil marketing corporations make their own retail price decisions. When pricing reviews began after the elections, the increase was only Rs 10 per litre, significantly less than other countries, he said, adding that the ministry is aware of inflation worries as well. The minister encouraged non-BJP-ruled states to lower the Value Added Tax (VAT) on petroleum items to help consumers, pointing out that the Centre had already done so.
