Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri broached the possibility of a dip in petrol and diesel prices on Saturday. Addressing a press conference at the BJP headquarters the senior politician also noted that the Narendra Modi-led government had ensured that there is no rise in oil prices since April 2022. Puri however said that he was not in a position to make an announcement on the issue at this time, calling for a wait and watch approach.
The minister said that state-run oil marketing companies had done “okay” in the last quarter.
“As we go along we will see what can be done. They have recovered some of their losses. They have been very good corporate citizens. As we go along we will see what can be done,” he said.
