The Opposition parties on Monday, during the Question Hour in the Rajya Sabha on fuel prices, demanded to know if the prices will be hiked now that the Assembly elections were over.
In response, Minister for Petroleum Hardeep Singh Puri said it was up to the oil marketing firms to decide.
“The price of $19 56 cents on March 25, 2020 went up to $130 and now it is down to $109. Oil marketing companies will take their decisions. They will proceed once they can no longer bear it. If they don’t have the margin or cushion, they will take the appropriate step,” he stated.
