Petrol, diesel price hike temporary, says Dharmendra Pradhan
Amid mounting pressure from all the quarters to reduce taxes on petrol and diesel, Union Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Saturday said that the increase in fuel prices in India is temporary but gradually they’ll be brought down.
The union minister said, “Due to the rise in international fuel prices, India also had to increase fuel prices but it’s temporary, gradually they’ll be brought down.”
He further added that, both Centre and state levy taxes on fuels as they’re resources that help in reviving the economy, especially post the COVID-19 pandemic.
