Oil price hike likely today
The government is likely to announce a hike in fuel prices on Wednesday to bail out state-owned oil marketing companies (OMCs) that are suffering massive financial losses due to skyrocketing international crude prices. The decision will be first taken at a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA) scheduled for the morning and later ratified by the Cabinet.
