Fuel Price Revision Tied to Crude Oil Stability
The government will change fuel prices only when crude oil prices stay low for a while.
They won't change prices every day because that can confuse people and make the market unstable.
Right now, petrol costs Rs 114.51 and diesel is Rs 99.82.
The government is also working on making energy use more efficient and using different types of energy.
They think this will help India use less petrol and diesel.
There's also a new platform in West Bengal to make it easier for big companies to invest.
Fuel prices will be revised when crude oil prices decline and stabilize.
Government will not adjust fuel prices frequently to avoid market volatility.
Current petrol price is Rs 114.51 and diesel price is Rs 99.82.
Government is focusing on energy efficiency and diversifying energy sources.
West Bengal launched a single-window clearance platform for large investments.
