New Delhi:
Petrol and diesel prices will go up by Rs 0.50 a litre from midnight
tonight in 13 big cities, including Delhi and Mumbai, where cleaner
Euro-IV grade fuel will be supplied from tomorrow, a government
official said today.
Petrol price in Delhi will go up by Rs
0.50 per litre to Rs 47.93 a litre and diesel by Rs 0.26 to Rs 38.10
a litre on account of supply of cleaner Euro-IV fuel, the official
said but did not wish to be identified.
Thirteen big cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai,
Hyderabad, Bangalore, Lucknow, Kanpur, Agra, Surat, Ahmedabad, Pune
and Sholapur will move from Euro-III grade fuel to Euro-IV from
tomorrow. Rates will vary from city to city depending upon local
taxes.
The rest of the country will switch from Euro-II specification fuel
to Euro-III in phases, beginning with Goa from tomorrow. Sale of
Euro-III grade will be phased over the next 5-6 months.
Euro-III petrol will cost Rs 0.26 a litre more and same grade diesel
Rs 0.21 per litre, the official said, adding the rates will differ
from city to city.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who was approached by the the
Petroleum Ministry for clearance, had yesterday approved of the
price hike.
Oil companies had invested Rs 40,000 crore in putting up facilities
to produce cleaner fuel and the prices have been increased to make
up for the cost.
This will be the third hike in diesel rates for Delhi in less than a
month and the second for petrol. Petrol price was raised by Rs 2.71
and diesel by Rs 2.55 a litre from February 27 as Finance Minister
Pranab Mukherjee hiked excise and customs duty on the two fuel.
Diesel rates went up by Rs 2.37 on March 23 when the Delhi
government raised VAT on the fuel.
Euro-IV grade auto fuel prescribes to European emission standards
that define acceptable limits for vehicle exhaust emissions for
member states of the European Union. It is less polluting since it
restricts the presence of sulphur in the fuel: sulphur is present in
50 parts per million (ppm), as opposed to sulphur in 550-350 ppm as
sold in earlier.
