Three-wheeler associations say that even though the government has worked to lower the price of Octane 92 fuel, it is not possible to reduce the fares of rental Three-wheeler.
They point out that the reason for this is the increase in spare parts prices.
Effective from midnight yesterday (31), a liter of 92 octane petrol has been reduced by Rs. 15 and the new price is Rs. 318.
In the past too, the three-wheeler associations did not reduce the fares even when the fuel prices were reduced.
The associations had earlier said that if the fuel quota is increased, the fares will be reduced.
Also, although the government has recently increased the fuel quota provided by the government, it is not enough, the associations say.
They further claim that if the tolls are reduced, comparing the previous reduction and yesterday’s reduction, only one rupee per kilometer can be reduced.
