Shimla: Hinting at a
reduction in petrol prices in the state, Himachal Pradesh Chief
Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal Saturday said the Value Added Tax (VAT)
on petrol may be reduced further provided the Congress-ruled
states took initiative in this regard.
"The governments in Congress-ruled states are mum on the issue of
reducing VAT. If they take the lead, we can also think on those
lines," Dhumal told reporters here.
He said the Maharashtra government has already refused to lower
VAT on petrol.
Dhumal reminded reporters that when petrol prices were increased
last time the state government had reduced VAT.
State-run oil marketing firms Wednesday announced the biggest
single-shot hike in petrol prices so far of Rs.7.50 a litre.
