Under-recovery: jab daam laagat se neeche rok diya jaaye
Pump pe petrol ka daam mahino se nahi badla, par kachcha tel bahut mehnga ho gaya. Toh farak ka paisa kahan se aa raha hai?
Socho pehle… phir dekho jawab
Tel companies ki jeb se. ICRA ke hisaab se Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum aur Hindustan Petroleum ko roz lagbhag ₹530 crore ka ghata ho raha hai. Is ghate ko under-recovery kehte hain.
Under-recovery = cheez supply karne ki laagat minus woh kam daam jo company ko lene diya jaata hai. Card ke hisaab se diesel pe lagbhag ₹9 litre, petrol pe ₹8 litre aur ghar ki rasoi gas (LPG) ke cylinder pe ₹300 ka ghata hai.
Kyun? Bharat jo kachcha tel khareedta hai, uska average daam (Indian crude basket) 21 September ko $117.4 prati barrel pahuncha, jabki 2025-26 mein average lagbhag $66 tha. Laagat badh gayi, par pump ke daam nahi badhaye gaye — taaki logon pe mehngai ka bojh ek dum na pade.
Par ghata kisi na kisi ko bharna padta hai: (1) companies khud, jisse unke paas naye kaam ke liye paisa kam bachta hai; (2) sarkar, tax (excise duty) kam karke ya madad dekar; (3) grahak, baad mein daam badhne par. Seekh: 'sasta' dikhne ka matlab 'free' nahi hota.
Ghar pe try karo
Ghar ke bade se poochho: petrol ka daam aakhri baar kab badla tha? Phir ek chhota flowchart banao: 'Kachcha tel mehnga → laagat badhi → daam wahi → ghata → kaun bharega? (company / sarkar / grahak)'.
Wow!
Koi subsidy ka elaan nahi hua, phir bhi har din sainkadon crore ki 'chhupi subsidy' chal rahi hai!
3 sawaal
- Under-recovery ka matlab kya hai?
Jawab dekho
Laagat aur usse kam mile daam ke beech ka farak. Laagat se kam daam pe bechne ka ghata under-recovery hai.
- Card ke hisaab se LPG cylinder pe lagbhag kitna ghata hai?
Jawab dekho
₹300. Diesel ~₹9/litre, petrol ~₹8/litre, LPG ~₹300/cylinder; ₹530 crore roz ka kul ghata hai.
- Daam na badhaane ka seedha fayda abhi kise milta hai?
Jawab dekho
Grahakon ko — aaj mehngai ka bojh kam. Grahak ko aaj raahat milti hai; bill baad mein ya kahin aur jaata hai.
