    INDIA'S RECORD-HIGH PETROL AND DIESEL PRICES THREATEN ROAD TO RECOVERY

    in News Updates

    India’s record pump prices of gasoline and diesel are the newest threat to the economy’s nascent recovery, as high local taxes on retail fuel risk fanning inflation and driving a wedge between the objectives of fiscal and monetary policymakers.





    Gasoline prices were at an all-time high of 97.6 rupees ($1.3) a liter in Mumbai Tuesday, while diesel -- the bellwether of industrial activity -- sold for a record 88.6 rupees, data from state-run Indian Oil Corp. show. Taxes make up more than half of that cost and represent a sore point for the inflation-targeting Reserve Bank of India, which has vowed to keep borrowing costs low for as long as needed to support economic growth.


    “Persistently higher prices could lead to a generalized inflationary environment, making it difficult for the RBI to hold on to its growth commitment," said Priyanka Kishore, chief India and South-east Asia economist at Oxford Economics in Singapore. “Rising fuel taxes, alongside the pick-up in global oil prices, could threaten India’s recovery."
