PETROLEUM minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Wednesday said oil marketing companies (OMCs) may reduce petrol and diesel prices in the next quarter if global crude oil prices remain around $65 per barrel.
Speaking at the Urja Varta 2025 event organised by the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons, the minister said If things remain stable (crude price), there is a scope for reduction.
"We are one of the few countries in the world where prices have come down over the last three-and-a-half years... Now, the inventory I'm holding was bought at $75 a barrel, a month ago. As this inventory gets consumed slowly, if prices remain at current levels, my short answer is yes," said the minister.
