Mumbai: State-owned oil major BPCL has sought an increase in petrol rates by Rs 4 and diesel by Rs 2 per litre in proportion to the climbing crude oil costs in the worldwide markets.
While addressing the news persons after its 54th AGM on Thursday, Ashok Sinha, BPCL Chairman and Managing Director said, “We are hoping the price of petrol and diesel would be raised by Rs 4 and Rs 2 respectively.”
“The three oil companies are losing Rs 150 crore per day and BPCL's share is 25 per cent of that,” Mr. Sinha commented.
