The oil companies can remove the brakes imposed on the increase in the prices of petrol and diesel from April 6, according to a Jagran Bhaskar report.
According to the reports, based on crude oil on the international market, they are currently incurring a loss of Rs 10 per litre for petrol and Rs 25 per litre for diesel. In such a situation, if the retail prices of these two products do not increase, the oil companies may have to bear heavy losses.
In such a situation, if the central government and the state governments together remove the charges, only then is relief possible for the common man, otherwise, the public will surely have another greatly increased burden.

During this, a total increase of Rs 10 each in petrol and diesel prices was made. At present, the price of Petrol in Delhi is Rs 105.41 per litre and that of diesel is Rs 96.67 per litre.
