Government oil companies are running in losses.
Indian government oil companies had not increased the retail prices in the last four years. Due to the increase in the price of crude oil globally, these companies were incurring a loss of about Rs 1000 crores daily, to compensate for which the rates are now being increased gradually. After the increase of Rs 3 yesterday, the loss has reduced a bit to Rs 750 crores per day. Now it remains to be seen how much help today increase will provides in compensating this loss. Let us tell you that the price of crude oil is increasing rapidly in the international markets, which has now crossed $100-110 per barrel.
