Prime Minister: No fuel price cuts for now

India’s Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has clarified that the government has no plans to cut the price of petroleum products.

He said: “Even now the Indian oil companies have to bear a very heavy burden”.

Market was expecting a cut in the price of petrol and diesel considering crude is trading at a low price compared to few months back.

Singh added: “We have been subsidizing LPG, kerosene and diesel to a certain extent. If the prices keep going down, we will explore the possibility.”

He spoke about the need to bailout the Indian airline companies: “There is the employment angle to be looked at. If airlines close down, there will be considerable unemployment.”
