This document outlines the pricing formula and components used to determine the retail price of diesel in India. It explains that the import parity price (IPP), export parity price (EPP), and trade parity price (TPP) are used in the calculation. Currently, the retail guide price (RGP) of diesel is based on the TPP. The Finance Ministry wants to switch to using the EPP, which would lower the deficit for fuel subsidies. However, the oil marketing companies and Petroleum Ministry want to keep using the TPP, as it would deteriorate their financial position by reducing the subsidies they receive from the government.

Presently for the pricing of diesel TPP is used. Why Finance Ministry is insisting on using EPP? From the above table it is clear that if EPP is used instead of TPP, then TDP will become 51 instead of 52. Hence Under-Recovery will reduce by Rs.1/L. So, Govt. will have to give lesser subsidy to OMCs. Therefore, Govt. deficit will come down. Why OMCs and Petroleum Ministry are insisting on using TPP? It is clear from the above answer that if EPP is used instead of TPP than OMCs will get less subsidy from Central Govt. But their expenditure will remain exactly same as earlier. Hence, their financial health will deteriorate.

IPP = C&F + import + custom
EPP = FOB TPP (Trade Parity Price) = 0.8 x IPP + 0.2 x EPP RGP of Diesel is currently based on TPP RGP of diesel = TPP RGP of Domestic LPG and that of kerosene sold in the public distribution system is based on IPP
