What is the estimated total under-recovery on LPG sales for the oil marketing companies in the 2024-25 fiscal year?
`40,500 croreThe government is likely to provide a subsidy of `30,000–`35,000 crore to state-run oil companies to compensate for losses incurred from selling LPG at below cost over the past 15 months. The total under-recovery on LPG sales for the industry in the 2024-25 fiscal year is estimated at about `40,500 crore. This gap arises because regulated LPG prices are lower than the international benchmark, Saudi CP, due to insufficient domestic production and reliance on imports.
