Hence, the hike will not be passed on to the consumer. Post hike, OMCs are likely to make a profit of around Rs4/liter on petrol and Rs2.5/liter on Diesel. Government intends to allocate the incremental excise duty to fund its ambitious infrastructure development programme, particularly building of 15000-kms of roads, during current and next financial year. This will be negative read through for the OMCs while additional allocations to fund the road projects would be positive for road developers.
