Besides, it loses Rs 15.46 per litre on kerosene and Rs 158.78 per domestic LPG cylinder as the government has not allowed them to revise retail prices.
"Our under-recovery (revenue loss) on sale of petrol, diesel, domestic LPG and kerosene is about Rs 74 crore per day. For the full year, we anticipate Rs 23,000 crore (Rs 230 billion) under recovery if (international) crude oil prices are to stay at current levels," he said.
State fuel retailers IOC, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum together lose about Rs 140 crore (Rs 1.4 billion) per day on sale of the four fuels.
Petroleum secretary R S Pandey, however, ruled out raising fuel prices in the near future.
"The international oil rates are discomforting but I think we should wait for them to stabalise before deciding."
