The Central Government has amended the Kerosene (Restriction on Use and Fixation of Ceiling Price) Order to make market priced kerosene easily available. “By virtue of this amendment, all activities of storage, transportation and sale of non-PDS kerosene has been freed of regulator control,” the Ministry for Petroleum and Natural Gas said. In this regard, the Kerosene (Restriction on Use and Fixation of Ceiling Price) Amendment Order, 2015 has been published, it added. The Government expects that this will reduce the demand for diverted PDS kerosene by improving the availability of non-PDS kerosene in the open market and meet the demand of kerosene for various legitimate end uses for the industry and those who can afford it market price.
