How many people in this country have their own vehicles? A very very small proportion. The largest proportion of people use public transport, walk or cycle. They will not be affected by any rise in petrol prices. Besides, why should these people, who constitute the majority, face the pollution caused by the minority vehicle owners. Further, why should the government subsidise petrol prices so that such people can drive around in comfort and pollute the environment. Let us move towards a more equitable and just society where the government does not subsidise the instrument of a few rich vehicle owners.

Very well said by my friend Omkar, rich peoples are not bothered for price hike. Any how common person will have to suffer But on the other hand oil price is not regulated by the government its by the oil company, govt is changing only the duties and if they reduce the duties then again it directly or indirectly impact the economy and the common men so we should not blem directly on them as we all know that we are the importer not the manufacturer of petroleum product, and price is set the the manufacturer

Fuel price increase is a chain reaction. First the transportation cost will go up, this will have its effect on essential commodities which are transported on daily basis. Thus adding to inflation. Fuel price increase has its direct effect on moment of goods and services which is the back born of the economy. Hence effecting pricing of all products. Which in turn will effect the economy and increase inflation.

Yes current hike of fuel prices may effect on common man directly and indirectly because this step will support the price rise. And common man are not able to handle the burden of more inflation as they already fighting against present inflation... As Mr. Asoke explain that all effect will make their impact on common man....

The Government subsidy on the prices of fuel has kept the prices low. But this subsidy has led to defects in government budget. This in turn effects plan out lay for other projects. It lhas come to a stage that the governmnet is no longer in a position to provide this subsidy.So the government is deregulating the prices of fuel.Now the prices will be according to the international market conditions.Once the government remove this subsidy it will have money to spend for other economic growth this will in turn will bring down the negative inpact of fuel price rise. But till such time the price rise will add to inflation. and prices of other commodities will go up. By deregulating the market the governemnt is looking for long term growth.

Denip. I agree with your points. I think this is something unavoidable by the government because we are depending on other countries for our fuel. So day by day it is getting reduced, and the prices is getting increased. One way to manage this situation is to reduce the usage of fuel. Try to save fuel as much as possible....... which in turn reduces pollution.......

Fuel price increase will certainly have its impact. First the transportation cost will go up thus increasing the price of all goods, travel, all production cost this will effect the life of common man. The so call subsidy which the Government is giving are mainly enjoyed by the rich.

the greed of people is increased by price hike.... people want more & more.. human wants are unlimited but resources are limited... The ground reality is different from what we expect.... so no Price rise but better social balance should be the motto

Fuel is the one energy used by all, irrespective of their status. But the full brunt will be beard by none other than the common person. Indian economy is booming no doubt, but it is not percolating upto the bottom line, that is the poor people. It will take some more decades to reach there.

All cunning and shrewed thinkings of the Managers in the Govt. They want to please some by squzzing the poor. They want to fill the cofer with much fund but without touching the rich. How poor only may suffer due to the rise ? -- all round price rise - including all items, petty or big Others will ultimately recover the excess expenses for fuel price rise by taxing their lower levels ... The CEO will recover the cost from the Co. -- the Company will raise the prices of the products ultimately to be paid again by the consumers, most of which will be common man -- a sales man will recover the excess amount from TA Bill ... ultimately Co pays and againsituation as above -- salary earners will get enhanced DA Now, the poor may not recover from none - they are more in number, say, 55 percent of the population. They are the ultimate victim
