-- インド国営石油会社(Indian Oil)は、ガソリン、ディーゼル、家庭用LPGボンベの小売価格を据え置くと発表した。これにより、消費者は最近の国際燃料価格の高騰の影響を受けずに済む。 同社は金曜日の声明で、この決定は家庭や生活必需サービスの価格安定を目的とした、消費者重視のアプローチの一環であると述べた。 現行の価格体系では、総消費量の約90%を占める一般消費者向けのガソリンとディーゼルの価格は据え置かれている。 約3億3000万世帯が使用する14.2キログラムの家庭用LPGボンベの価格も据え置かれている。 その他の主要燃料価格も安定している。定期便を運航する国内航空会社向けの航空タービン燃料の価格は改定されておらず、公共配給システムを通じて供給される灯油も現行価格で継続される。 全体として、石油製品の約80%は価格変動がなく、ほとんどの消費者にとって価格の安定が確保されている。 調整対象は、総消費量のごく一部を占め、世界市場の動向に合わせて定期的に改定される一部の産業分野に限定されています。 消費量の1%未満を占めるバルクおよび業務用LPGボンベの価格は改定されましたが、国際航空会社向けのバルクディーゼル燃料と航空燃料は値上げされました。 同時に、世界のエネルギー市場の変動を反映し、石油製品の約4%は値下げされました。全体としては、16%の製品で値上げが行われ、主に産業ユーザーに影響が出ています。 同社は、この段階的な価格調整は、消費者保護と、特定の燃料カテゴリーを国際価格の動向に合わせる必要性とのバランスを取ることを目的としていると述べています。
