petrol price
by dinesh kapoor on Mar 01, 2011 01:14 AM  | Hide replies

I live in Canada , and we pay only around $1 (i,e, Rs 44/-)for petrol for 1 litre. Then why in Inida it is more than 50 Rs. Please be reminded also that the labour cost is more in Canada. Average labour at gas station earns 20 dollars per hour.

The Finance minister is stupid.

He should consult with the department of energy and explore other was of producing fuel using the Fischer-Tropsch process.

South African Company SASOL has expertise in this area. We do not have a single Indian firm which is venturing in a similar direction.

Americans are already considering this fuel producing alternative. Fuels can be manufactured from Fats and by products of our many restaurants.

India is also rich in Coal and such synthetic fuel plants can be established near the coal belts of India.

Indian fuel prices will not be dictated by the
vagaries of the world's fuel supply.

We need to be able to manufacture our OWN synthetic fuel : gasoline, diesel and jet fuel and also create an efficient system of distribution.

India is coal rich and this means it does not have to depend on fuel imports from oil rich countries all the time.

Think deeply and act wisely is what I have always advised.

Very few politicians in India today have a capacity to think.

states should lower sales tax on petrol
by ravichandran jagadisan on Feb 28, 2011 09:50 PM  | Hide replies

State govts are the biggest culprits when it comes to oil prices since they charge anywhere between 25 to 30% whereas cemtral govt rates of excise and customs are a low 5 to 7.50%.State govts use this money for populist schemes especially in states like tamil nadu

But no one will listen to you my friend.
Only way take away the subsidy completely away and give huge incentives to non-conventional energy sources. These subsidies by gov: it is paid not from politician pockets, but from taxpayer’s money. But none thinks. Politicians on the payroll of oil cartel fool people and make them dance to tunes of oil cartel.

Serious consideration required for Alternate Energy
by Passed on Feb 28, 2011 09:21 PM  | Hide replies

Government should not put more emphasis on alternate energy sources.

1. Solar Energy:
- We get sun shines most of the days everywhere in country
- Most of our roofs are already available for putting big solar panels
- With government subsidiary we can make solar panels affordable and manageable
- This will create new jobs and industry

2. Water harvesting:
For all our water issues, simple solution is water harvesting. Proper education, planning and government subsidiary in such home level projects, can help in improving these conditions considerably.

3. Wind Energy:
Areas where there is sufficient winds flowing all thru year, we can make use of this technology as well

Overall, but using first 2 options, we can tackle most of our issue of Electricity and Water Shortage.

Solutions from government:
1. Cheap loans for installing alternate energy sources Solar Panels, Solar Water Heater, Solar Direct Lighting for inside home etc.
2. Providing education about how to use natural resources more efficiently. Sun light, Water harvesting etc
3. Making nation wide effort to change the way things are perceived and implemented.

solar energy is very expensive and only economical if there is no source of electricity nearby

and also spend billions of rupees on advertisements? Petrol is an essential commodity and should sell by itself.
