Oil companies will be adequately compensated: Govt


Public sector oil marketing companies (OMCs) would be adequately compensated by the Government for selling fuel products at a discount, Petroleum Secretary S. Sundareshan said. The revenue loss to the OMCs would be adequately and fully addressed, Sundareshan said today at a hurriedly called media conference in the capital. His remarks came a day after the Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM) on fuel prices was postponed indefinitely. The panel was to take up an increase in diesel and LPG prices. The EGoM has been considering a price hike of Rs 2 per litre on diesel and Rs 30-40 per LPG cylinder. OMCs currently sell diesel at a loss of Rs 6.09 per litre and domestic LPG at Rs 272.19 per cylinder. Sundareshan refused to comment on the reason for the postponement of the EGoM.
