To reduce the losses of petroleum companies, the rates of petrol and diesel have been continuously increased.

Whereas, after increasing the price twice, this loss came down to around Rs 750 crore per day. There has been an obstruction in the supply of petroleum products through Hormuz. Due to which petroleum companies have to import crude oil from far-flung countries. At the same time, the price of crude oil has also increased. In such a situation, the overall cost of imports has affected petrol and diesel.

PM Narendra Modi had appealed to the countrymen twice in the last 24 hours to use less petrol and diesel. PM Modi had said that if it is necessary to drive a car, then do pooling. He had also appealed not to buy gold for a year and not to go abroad for travelling. PM Modi himself and many of his ministers reduced the number of vehicles in their convoy. CMs and ministers of BJP state governments have also reduced the number of vehicles in the convoy, but unless the general public reduces the use of petrol and diesel, there is no question of reduction in consumption. Due to high consumption, more crude oil has to be imported and due to this increase in cost, there is a compulsion to increase the rates of petrol and diesel.
