Let us tell you that petrol pump operators in Rajasthan have started an indefinite strike from September 15, 2023. The main reason for this strike is the high VAT charged by the Rajasthan government on petrol and diesel. Petroleum Dealers Association says that VAT on petrol and diesel in Rajasthan is higher than other states, due to which the general public is also suffering loss. VAT on petrol and diesel in Rajasthan is higher than other states. For example, on September 15, 2023, petrol price in Rajasthan is Rs 109.50 per liter and diesel price is Rs 98.48 per liter. ,
In the neighboring state of Haryana, the price of petrol is Rs 97.25 per liter and the price of diesel is Rs 89.98 per liter. Due to this, petrol and diesel prices in Rajasthan are about Rs 10-12 per liter higher than other states. During the Corona epidemic, the Rajasthan government had increased VAT on petrol and diesel, which has not been refunded yet. Petrol pump operators also have several other demands from the government, such as timely payment of dues, waiver of electricity and water bills, and reduction in license fees.
