From: Arun D Khaitan to consumer VOICE


Friends,

Has anyone done a cost analyses of rising prices of petroleum products in India - that is Bharat?
I sometimes feel that today's price that is between Rs 75-80 per litre includes cost of crude + taxes ++++ incompetence and mismanagement of the oil companies, both public (Indianoil, Hindusthan, Bharat, ONGC, etc.) and private (Reliance, Essar, etc.). It also includes (maybe) the corruption factor?

2. Falling rupee: falling value of the rupee vis-a-vis the dollar: Is the government deliberatedly allowing this slide, to devalue the rupee without actually saying so?

Any comments?
