Dealer Commission Increase Effective Today
The revised commission structure aims to benefit fuel dealers without impacting retail petrol and diesel prices. Currently, dealers receive a commission of ₹1,868.14 per kiloliter on petrol and ₹1,389.35 per kiloliter on diesel, with a portion of the bill amount included in their total earnings. This increase in dealer commission will lead to enhanced services for consumers without price hikes at the pump.
States Benefiting from Lower Petrol-Diesel Prices
While retail prices remain unchanged in most locations, transportation cost adjustments within certain states will reduce petrol and diesel prices. Fuel rates will see a dip in states such as Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Arunachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Mizoram, and Himachal Pradesh. In Odisha’s Malkangiri district, the petrol price in areas like Kunnapalli and Kalimela will drop by ₹4.69 and ₹4.55 per liter, respectively, while diesel prices will decrease by ₹4.45 and ₹4.32 per liter. Similarly, in Sukma, Chhattisgarh, petrol and diesel prices will see reductions of ₹2.09 and ₹2.02, respectively.
