Re: Petrol price increased by Rs3.14 per litre.
Its not just 2Rs cess.
They also plan 3% Green tax on Petrol , and for diesel cars, they want to add 20% tax on the vehicle itself.
At least thats the proposal. Would be the most idiotic one to be honest.
They want to encourage people to use public transport is the excuse given by the panel. Come on, in a country which lacks the infrastructure to support effective mass transit options for people right now, they want to encourage more people to take public transport.

In that case better buy a new car soon if they actually end up doing this.
The situation with public transport is very bad indeed. Even in Delhi it is a mess and too overcrowded. You should look at the metro during peak hours, it reminds me of the rush in blue lines, only difference there are a lot more people in there. No one can hang out on though.

Re: Petrol price increased by Rs3.14 per litre.
If they wanted people to use mass transit they should have laid new railway lines instead of the money swamp that is the golden quadrilateral and all the new 4+ lane highways. The increase in price for bitumen over the past decade makes the graph for petrol look flat.

Re: Petrol price increased by Rs3.14 per litre.
What the heck yar. I just cannot understand the new bills which the government is passing. Even with the 3% cess, the commodity is still bound to global volatility and it can still go up. With the Gulf on the brink of war again, it is just going to get worse. Regarding this being a proponent to encourage public transport, sorry to say to the government, I cannot travel in jam-packed cubicles and then take a man-pulled rickshaw (and pay him a bomb) everyday. This is just so ......... pi$$ing off. I cringe each time when I pull out my vehicle cause of fuel price.

This is essential to improve the supply chain in the country.
Having said that they should have planned the public mass transport systems atleast for capacities 2 decades in the future. By the time those proposed development are out the population increase will easily negate the decongestion.
the golden quadrilateral was not built for the speed heads rather to improve the transport infrastructure in our country.chiron said:
