Food Ministry ne edible oil companies ko bol diya hai ki import duty mein jo kami hui hai, uska faayda turant consumers tak pahunchao. Sarkar ne crude oils par customs duty aadhi kar di hai, jisse food inflation kam ho sake. Chaliye, detail mein jaanate hain kya hai poora maamla.
Duty Cut ka Seedha Asar Consumers Par
Food and Public Distribution department ke Secretary ne edible oil industry ke saath meeting ki. Unhone kaha ki duty mein jo kami hui hai, uska benefit consumers ko milna chahiye. Companies ko bola gaya hai ki woh apne Price to Distributors (PTD) aur Maximum Retail Price (MRP) ko turant adjust karein.
Companies ko Turant Action Lene ke Nirdesh
Associations se request ki gayi hai ki woh apne members ko bole ki turant price kam karein aur brand-wise MRP sheets department ko weekly basis par share karein. Ministry ne edible oil industry ko ek format bhi diya hai, jismein reduced MRP aur PTD data report karna hai. Unhone emphasize kiya ki supply chain ke through benefits timely pahunchana bahut zaroori hai, taaki consumers ko retail prices mein kami ka experience ho.
Kyon Liya Gaya Yeh Faisla?
Yeh decision edible oil prices mein hui tezi se badhotri ke baad liya gaya hai. Pichle saal duty hike ke baad prices bahut badh gaye the, jisse consumers par inflationary pressure badh gaya. Retail edible oil prices badhne se food inflation bhi badhi.
Centre ne Kya Kiya?
Centre ne crude edible oils jaise crude sunflower, soybean, aur palm oils par Basic Customs Duty (BCD) 20% se ghata kar 10% kar di hai. Isse crude aur refined edible oils ke beech import duty differential 8.75% se badh kar 19.25% ho gaya hai. Is adjustment ka maqsad edible oil prices ko kam karna hai, jo September 2024 mein duty hike aur international market prices mein badhotri ke baad badh gaye the.
Domestic Refining ko Milega Boost
Officials ne kaha ki crude aur refined oils ke beech 19.25% duty differential se domestic refining capacity utilisation mein madad milegi aur refined oils ka import kam hoga. Import duty edible oils ki landed cost aur domestic prices ko impact karta hai. Crude oils par import duty kam karne se sarkar ka maqsad landed cost aur retail prices ko kam karna hai.
Aage Kya Hoga?
Dekhte hain edible oil companies yeh naya niyam kaise implement karti hain aur consumers ko iska kitna faayda milta hai. Food Ministry poori situation par nazar rakhe hue hai.
