印度石油公司在全球原油价格上的同时, 在燃料价格停滞下来后损失了数十亿美元. Indian oil firms lose billions amid frozen fuel prices despite global crude price hikes.

自2022年4月以来,印度国有石油公司一直保持燃料价格结,估计每升汽油损失18卢比,柴油损耗35卢比. State-owned Indian oil companies have kept fuel prices frozen since April 2022, incurring estimated losses of ₹18 per litre on petrol and ₹35 per litre on diesel. 尽管全球原油价格因紧张局势而上至每桶120美元左右, 但政府的减税措施并未抵消这些损失. Despite global crude oil prices rising to around $120 per barrel due to tensions, the government's excise duty reduction has not offset these mounting losses. 分析人士警告说, 取消关税每年将使政府损失36亿美元, 并增加财政赤字, 在即将举行的州选举后预计价格可能会上. Analysts warn that eliminating duties would cost the government $36 billion annually and increase the fiscal deficit, with potential price hikes expected after upcoming state elections.
