Jio-bp ne petrol ke daam **₹5** per litre aur diesel ke **₹3** per litre badha diye hain. Ye saal ka pehla price adjustment hai, jo West Asia ke crisis aur global supply chain risk ki wajah se kiya gaya hai.
Petrol aur Diesel kyun mehenga hua?
West Asia mein badhte tension aur Strait of Hormuz ke chakkar mein global crude oil supply chain hil gayi hai. India apni zaroorat ka 90% tel import karta hai, isliye global markets mein hulchul hote hi yahan asar dikhne lagta hai. Jio-bp, jo ki Reliance Industries ka venture hai, usne apni retail margins ko manage karne ke liye ye kadam uthaya hai.
Kya purane restrictions hatenge?
Is hike se pehle, Jio-bp ne diesel par 50-litre ka cap laga diya tha taaki bulk buyers stock khatam na kar dein. Ab jab daam badh gaye hain, toh umeed hai ki ye quantity restrictions shayad kam ho jayein aur retail customers ko rahat mile.
Private vs Government Retailers
Market ka scene thoda confuse karne wala hai. Nayara Energy ne bhi price badhaye hain, lekin Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum, aur Hindustan Petroleum jaise bade players ne abhi tak prices match nahi kiye hain. Ye companies market ka 90% control karti hain, jisse private players ke liye competition tough ho gaya hai.
Investors ke liye warning
RBI ne repo rate 5.50% kar diya hai inflation control karne ke liye, aur aise mein fuel prices ka badhna economy ke liye ek aur challenge hai. Logistics cost badhegi toh inflation ka pressure market par dikh sakta hai. Ab bas ye dekhna hai ki kya government-run companies bhi prices badhati hain ya private players ko hi nuksan jhelna padega.
