why isn't nepal raising fuel prices?

Answered by Chito · asked 3 times

Nepal is not raising fuel prices despite India's recent hike because the Nepal Oil Corporation has decided to keep local prices unchanged. This decision is influenced by ongoing floods and upcoming festivals, which are sensitive times for the public. To maintain stable prices, the corporation is absorbing a loss of over Rs 3.2 billion. This approach helps ease the financial burden on consumers during difficult times.
