NOC Incurs Monthly Loss of Rs 4 Billion
Notice (8): Undefined index: caption [APP/View/Articles/view.ctp, line 241]

February 1: Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) has been incurring a monthly loss of Rs 4 billion at present. The NOC said it has had to incur such a great loss due to the increase in prices of petroleum products. The NOC added that its net loss has increased as the loss incurred through the sales of cooking gas (LPG) is excessive.

The NOC said it is incurring a loss of Rs 2.24 billion just from the sales of LPG.

Executive Director of NOC, Sushil Bhattarai, informed that the state-owned oil monopoly has to incur maximum losses from the trading of LPG among petrol, diesel, aviation fuel, kerosene and LPG.

NOC claims that it has been suffering from loss despite increasing the prices of petroleum products time and again.

The last time NOC hiked the prices was on January 19. Although the NOC is supposed to revise the price list every fortnight as per the automatic pricing mechanism after the Indian Oil Corporation provides the new list, NOC has failed to comply with the mechanism.
