November 2024 ke doran Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) ka sales volume 1.6 million tons raha, jo ke Year-on-Year (YoY) basis par 15% aur Month-on-Month (MoM) basis par 6% ka izafa darj karta hai.
Product-wise Detail:
- Motor Spirit (MS) ki sales mein 17% YoY ka izafa dekha gaya.
- Hi-Speed Diesel (HSD) ka volume bhi 21% YoY barh gaya.
- Magar Furnace Oil (FO) ki sales 55% YoY girawat ke sath neeche rahi.
Petroleum Development Levy (PDL) ka challenge:
Government ke liye Petroleum Development Levy ka target hasil karna mushkil lagta hai, kyun ke abhi tak PDL charges mein izafa karna defer kiya ja raha hai. November 2024 ke liye PDL collection ka andaaza Rs467 billion lagaya gaya hai, jo monthly target se 4% kam hai. FY25 ke liye Rs1.28 trillion ka target pura karne ke liye yeh zaroori hai ke aglay mahino mein sales volume 23% YoY barh jaye.
Agar January 2025 se PDL charge Rs10/ltr barhakar Rs70/ltr kar diya jaye, toh yeh mumkin ho sakta hai. Lekin agar PDL charge Rs60/ltr par rakha gaya, toh 41% YoY volumetric growth ki zarurat hogi, jo mushkil lagta hai.
Fiscal aur Primary Balance Targets par Asar:
PDL collection ke shortfall ka andesha barqarar hai, jo fiscal aur primary balance targets ke liye challenges paida kar sakta hai.
