Press Release on MS Price Revision


The Motor Spirit (MS) charges were de-regulated by Government of India w.e.f. 25.06.2010. Since then, OMCs encompassing IndianOil have the flexibility to rectify the MS prices. In the present year (2011-12), as a outcome of increasing worldwide MS charges, IndianOil has modified MS charges up by Rs.4.17 per litre on 15th May’11; Rs.2.62 per litre on 16th Sept’11 and Rs.1.50 per litre on 4th Nov’11.

IndianOil reconsiders the MS charges on fortnightly cornerstone and founded on the reconsider, repairs the MS charges for the next fortnight. In holding with this perform, IndianOil has reconsidered the charge cycle as common in the last fortnight. The reconsider discloses that at the present charges, there will be an over-recovery of Rs.1.85 per litre. It has, thus, been determined to modify the MS charges down high ground by Rs.1.85 (excluding State levies and levies) w.e.f. 16th Nov.’11.

The decrease has been likely as a outcome of favourable influence of skid down both in the worldwide charges of MS and in the Rupee / Dollar parity. The Rupee / Dollar exchange rate which had shifted high in the second fortnight of Oct’11, came down marginally and stayed more or less steady in the locality of Rs.49.30 per USD in the applicable first fortnight of Nov’11. It may be documented that the rupee has endured important depreciation yesterday and today. If the Rupee / Dollar parity continues at this grade or proceeds farther away, its influence would get echoed in the next charge cycle. The applicable charge cycle applicable for the fortnight starting 16th Nov’11 has thus stayed free from any foremost disturbance in the Rupee / Dollar parity.

With the overhead modification, there will be no under / over recovery on MS charges throughout the fortnight starting 16th Nov’11. Although, the charge conclusion in esteem of three perceptive goods namely HSD, SKO (PDS) and LPG (Dom) is taken by the Government, IndianOil has been distributing the influence of under-recoveries on them. In case of High Speed Diesel (HSD), the worldwide charges have made solid up (a tendency precisely converse to MS) throughout the fortnight and as a outcome, the under-recovery of the Company on HSD has expanded from Rs.8.58 to Rs.10.17 per litre. The charge in esteem of SKO (PDS) and LPG (Dom) pursues a monthly cycle and thus in esteem of these two perceptive goods, the under recovery continues at Rs.25.66 per litre on SKO and Rs.260.50 per LPG cylinder as was the case in the preceding fortnight.
