The state-owned Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC, http://www.nepaloil.com.np) sets fuel prices in Nepal in accordance with the Nepalese Government. Prices differ across the country, reflecting different transportation costs. Prices are changed several times a year, following the import purchase price from India.
As of May 2011, NOC has „losses“ of NPR 9.36 (13,3 US-Cents) for every litre of gasoline sold. These losses are de facto subsidies, as the Nepalese Government supports NOC financially (see →App. A1). E.g., debts had to be paid by NOC to the Indian Oil Company in order to continue to receive fuels in July 2010. Th subsidies for diesel are even higher, being NPR 20.72 (29,44 US-Cents) per litre. Also taxation on diesel is low compared to gasoline (NPR 12.42 and NPR 30.9), resulting in a diesel pump price of NPR 68.5 (gasoline: NPR 97.00) as of May 2011. NOC is obviously trying to make these subsidies („losses“) transparent to the customer, showing that prices would be even higher if not subsidized.
The Nepal Oil website offers further information regarding legal framework, storage facilities and import statistics.
