Taming Diesel Subsidy to Curtail Inflation and Foster Economic Growth<\/span> <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Taming<\/a><\/strong><\/span>Government is reluctant to raise diesel price fully for fear that it might lead to inflation, even though administered price of petroleum products leads to large under-recoveries. Partial financing of under-recoveries by the government is done by direct budgetary support and indirectly by the Public sector oil marketing companies (OMCs) and upstream oil companies (ONGC and OIL). These high levels of under-recoveries raise the fiscal deficit, which in turn leads to higher money supply resulting in higher inflation prompting Reserve Bank to raise interest rate that lowers investment and economic growth rate over time. While steps have been taken by the government to decontrol prices of petrol, LPG and kerosene, diesel continues to be heavily subsidized, as a change in status quo may lead to inflation in the short term. The aim of the study is to assess the alternative road maps for diesel price reform in India.<\/span><\/p>\n
