this news item explains that government imposed an additional import duty on diesel any truth about this reuters news? "COLOMBO, May 28 (Reuters) - Sri Lankan oil retailer Lanka IOC LIOC.CM on Wednesday said it had raised diesel prices by 20 rupees ($0.185) per litre from midnight (1830 GMT), the third increase in a week. On Thursday Lanka IOC announced a 20 rupee hike in diesel prices, and hiked again by 10 rupees a litre on Sunday, in line with fuel price increases by state-owned Ceylon Petroleum Corp. (Ceypetco). Countries across Asia have been hiking subsidised fuel prices as the global benchmark U.S. crude CLc1 hit a record high $135.09 a barrel last week, before falling back to $128.30, still up over 30 percent this year. For a factbox on Asia fuel price increases, click on: [iD:SP279116] The subsidiary of Indian Oil (IOC.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) said it had to increase diesel prices after the government imposed an additional import duty. "On Saturday we were not aware of a custom import duty 24.50 rupee surcharge on petrol, with that we still make a 1.50 rupee loss on petrol and incur a loss of 24 rupees on every litre of diesel, so we were compelled to increase diesel by 20 rupees," said Lanka IOC managing director K. Ramakrishnan." Source: http://in.reuters.com/article/domesticNews...28?rpc=401&
