New Delhi, Feb 10 (IANS): Union Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan informed the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday that the prices of petroleum products in the country are governed by international market forces.

The reply from Pradhan came during the Question Hour. Congress member KC Venugopal had objected to the Minister's response, saying that he was not putting forth the facts properly.

Samajwadi Party member Visambhar Prasad Nishad asked why the "prices of fuel were more in the country of Lord Ram and less in Mata Sita's country Nepal".

Petrol and diesel prices in India have risen again on the back of a surge in global crude prices above $60 a barrel now.

    When the international crude price goes UP, the Indian petrol price goes UP. When the international crude price goes DOWN, the Indian petrol price REMAINS UP.

    Both Central & State Govt. should bring down the Tax OR Merge with GST and also reduce dealer Commission TOO ( Looks like Commission to the dealer is around Rs.6.50 per Ltr)

    Krish; first ask Central government to reduce its tax because centre charges the most and it's the beneficiary of public money.Once centre reduce tax automatically states will do the same.

    Don't teach us economics. We know when crude was at $ 120/barrel we had paid Rs 75/liter When crude fell below $35/barrel you didn't pass the benefit to us You are fleecing us by charging Rs 55/liter through taxes. Stop looting us and stop inflation.
