Petroleum dealers demand ‘one nation one rate scheme’ for fuel

Noida, July 16 (ANI): The All India Petroleum Dealers Association on Thursday demanded ‘one nation one rate scheme’ for fuel over the recent hike in petrol prices in the national capital. The President of the association Ajay Bansal said that the demand for one nation one rate scheme should be applied by decreasing rates, not hiking. Petrol prices were hiked by Rs. 2.78 per litre (approximately) while diesel has become dearer by Rs. 1.83 per litre (approximately), after the Delhi Government decided to increase VAT (Value Added Tax) with effect from today. Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia had defended Delhi Government’s move to increase VAT on petrol and diesel prices, stating tax rates were being rationalised in the national capital and its neighbouring states.
