Malaysia team learn more from Murugappa Gold Cup
KUALA LUMPUR: The national junior hockey team continued to gain match experience at the 96th All India MCC-Murugappa Gold Cup in Chennai recently. They lost to Indian Navy 4-1, edged Central Board of Direct Taxes 4-3, lost 2-0 to Indian Oil Corporation and drew 3-3 with Hockey Karnataka. The national juniors finished fourth in their group and failed to qualify for the semi-finals. The Malaysian team are preparing for the Under-21 Junior World Cup (JWC) in Chennai and Madurai, India, from Nov 28-Dec 10. Coach Nor Saiful Zaini said his boys gained valuable experience, playing against senior players in the Murugappa Gold Cup. "The team need to improve their fitness. We need to play 40 matches before the JWC. To date we have played 13 matches — four matches in the Murugappa Cup, six against Liaoning Province in China, one against the national senior team and two against club sides. "We will either go to China or Australia to play more matches in preparation for the JWC," said Saiful. Malaysia are drawn in Group E with the Netherlands, England and Austria in the JWC.

Govt nears approval of ₹30,000 cr LPG relief for OMCs via excise funds
The Finance Ministry is close to finalising a compensation package for state-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) to help them recover losses from selling subsidised liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), Moneycontrol reported. The compensation will be routed through the Consolidated Fund of India and funded by recent hikes in excise duty on petrol and diesel. The news report mentioned that although excise collections usually go into general revenue, the government sometimes redirects part of these funds to support OMCs. This approach helps ease the fiscal impact of shielding consumers from global fuel price swings without straining the expenditure budget immediately. The Expenditure Finance Committee (EFC) has already held key meetings in March and May to discuss the dues owed to oil companies. Between April and December 2024, oil companies are estimated to have suffered a cumulative under-recovery of about ₹30,000 crore due to high global fuel prices. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas had approached the Finance Ministry before the 2025 Budget, seeking financial support, the news report said. In October 2022, it approved a one-time compensation of ₹22,000 crore for similar losses incurred in FY22. The current package will allow OMCs like Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) to use the funds either to offset past losses or to invest in infrastructure. India taps US for 10% of LPG needs India is preparing to source around 10 per cent of its liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) imports from the United States starting 2026, Reuters reported. It is part of a broader strategy to increase energy imports from the US to help narrow trade imbalance between the two countries. Currently, India is the world's third-largest importer and consumer of oil, and depends largely on West Asian nations for its LPG supply. Around 90 per cent of India's total LPG imports, amounting to about 20.5 million metric tonnes, came from the region in 2024. US LPG finds way to India LPG, a blend of propane and butane primarily used as cooking fuel, is imported by state-owned oil marketing companies, including Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation, and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation. These companies supply subsidised LPG to households across India. In the past, India had limited engagement with US suppliers for LPG due to higher shipping costs. However, that has started to change. State-run companies began purchasing US LPG in May after China introduced retaliatory tariffs on American propane, making it more accessible for Indian buyers. India plans to expand oil reserves To strengthen energy security, the Indian government is exploring the creation of three new strategic petroleum reserves. According to another Reuters report, these new sites are intended to increase India's emergency fuel stockpile. Engineers India Ltd, a state-owned consultancy, is currently conducting feasibility studies for the proposed reserves. LR Jain, CEO of Indian Strategic Petroleum Reserve Ltd (ISPRL), told Reuters, 'In case of exigencies, we will be better prepared.'

Relief to UP Dy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya: Allahabad HC rejects petition challenging his degree
The Allahabad High Court on Monday dismissed a criminal revision petition filed against Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya in a case challenging the authenticity of his educational degree. A single judge bench of Justice Sanjay Kumar Singh ruled that the petitioner, Diwakar Nath Tripathi, was neither a victim nor an aggrieved party in the matter, and therefore, lacked the legal standing to seek criminal proceedings. Tripathi had filed a petition alleging that Maurya had submitted a fake degree to secure a petrol pump allotment and to contest elections. He sought the registration of an FIR and a criminal investigation into the matter. After hearing the arguments from both sides, the High Court reserved the order on May 25, which was finally delivered on Monday. The case dates back to 2021 when Tripathi approached the district court under Section 156(3) of the CrPC, seeking directions to register an FIR. He alleged that Maurya had filed false affidavits about his educational qualifications during the 2007, 2012, and 2014 elections, and had used forged documents to obtain petrol pumps from Indian Oil Corporation. The trial court had rejected his plea on September 4, 2021. The court found that no cognizable offence was found against Maurya. Accordingly, Tripathi's plea was rejected. Tripathi then moved the High Court with a criminal revision petition, which was initially dismissed due to a delay of 318 days. However, on January 6 this year, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and directed it to hear the matter on merits. After hearing the case, the High Court upheld the lower court's decision, reiterating that only a person directly affected has the right to initiate criminal proceedings in such cases.

ATF price hiked by steep 7.5%, commercial LPG rate cut by Rs 58.5
The increase amounts to half of the total reduction implemented over three monthly installments since April. After three rounds of price cuts, aviation turbine fuel (ATF) price was increased by Rs 6,271.5 per kilolitre, or 7.5 per cent, to Rs 89,344.05 per kl in the national capital – home to one of the busiest airports in the country, according to state-owned fuel retailers. New Delhi, Jul 1 (PTI) The price of jet fuel (ATF) was sharply increased by 7.5 per cent on Tuesday, while the cost of LPG used in commercial establishments was reduced by Rs 58.50 per cylinder, reflecting shifts in international benchmark rates. ATF price was last reduced by Rs 2,414.25 per kl (2.82 per cent) to Rs 83,072.55 per kl on June 1. Prior to that, rates were cut by 4.4 per cent (Rs 3,954.38 per kl) on May 1 and a steep reduction of 6.15 per cent (Rs 5,870.54 per kl) on April 1. The increase in ATF price is in line with the spurt in international oil rates that followed Israel's attack on Iran last month. This increase will add to the burden on commercial airlines, for whom fuel makes up for almost 40 per cent of the operating cost. No immediate comments could be obtained from the airlines on the impact of price hike. The ATF price in Mumbai was hiked to Rs 83,549.23 per kl from Rs 77,602.73 per kl, while those in Chennai and Kolkata were increased to Rs 92,526.09 and Rs 92,705.74 per kl, respectively. Rates differ from city to city depending on incidence of local taxes such as VAT. Alongside, oil firms reduced the price of commercial LPG by Rs 58.5 per 19-kg cylinder. Commercial LPG now costs Rs 1,665 in the national capital and Rs 1,616.50 in Mumbai. This is the fourth straight reduction in commercial LPG rates. Prices were last reduced by Rs 24 per 19-kg cylinder on June 1. Prior to that a Rs 14.50 cut on May 1 and a Rs 41 per cylinder reduction was effected on April 1. In all, prices have been cut by Rs 138 per bottle since April. While oil prices have been on the boil, benchmark LPG rates have softened because of low demand during summer months. Prices of ATF and LPG differ from state to state depending on the incidence of local taxes, including VAT. The rate of cooking gas used in domestic households, however, remained unchanged at Rs 853 per 14.2-kg cylinder. The price of the domestic LPG was hiked by Rs 50 per cylinder in April. State-owned Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) revise prices of ATF and cooking gas on the first of every month based on the average price of benchmark international fuel and foreign exchange rate. Domestic rates of petrol and diesel continue to remain frozen. Rates were cut by Rs 2 per litre in mid-March last year, ahead of the general elections. Petrol costs Rs 94.72 a litre in Delhi, while diesel is priced at Rs 87.62. PTI ANZ ANZ ANU ANU This report is auto-generated from PTI news service. ThePrint holds no responsibility for its content.
