People will get help in the coming months: Hardeep Puri on the increase in fuel prices

New Delhi: The government is very sensitive to the problem of the increase in fuel prices, minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas HardeeP Singh Puri said on Tuesday, confirming that people would get help in the coming months.

“The central government is very sensitive to this problem …
I see that in the coming months, assistance will come,” he told reporters, replying to the query if there was help that could be expected in the near future.
Puri, however, defends the government for the increase in fuel prices consistently in this country, saying the center imposes Excise Duty RS 32 per liter and the resulting income is spent on various welfare schemes.
“The central government is also very sensitive to other responsibilities that we have …
the government provides free quota to 80 crore people, free vaccines, all other facilities.
So it is part of the picture,” he said.
The Minister said excise duty collected by the central government continued to remain the same today because in April 2010.
“For example, when international prices are 19 dollars 60 cents or 64 cents per liter, so we are used to forcing Rs 32 per liter.
Now at that time It is 75 dollars per liter, we are still forcing the same RS 32 per liter, “he said.
The price of fuel in India is determined by the international market since the determination of the UPA deregulation oil led by the congress in 2010, said Puri.
In addition to customs which enacted by the central government on fuel, countries also collect VAT, he added.
