Current govt is subsidising UPA’s petrol price cut: FM Nirmala Sitharaman
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedInShare via TelegramSend To WhatsApp

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on August 16 that the Narendra Modi government is paying for reduction in prices of petroleum products during the time of Manmohan Singh government, due to the interest and principles having to be repaid on oil bonds from that period.

Sitharaman said that as of 31 March, 2021, there were Rs 1.31 lakh crore in outstanding principles and Rs 37,340 crore in interest yet to be repaid on these oil bonds.

“We should have released a white paper in 2014 listing out all that we inherited from the previous government. Oil bonds were a big part of that. The previous govt had reduced to prices but that burden had to be taken by the Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) through these oil bonds,” Sitharaman said at a media interaction, on being asked whether the Centre would follow Tamil Nadu’s example and slash excise duty on fuel.
