New Delhi, Aug 13 - Petroleum Minister Murli Deora convened a meeting of state-owned oil companies for next week to discuss the shortage of diesel in certain parts of the country.
<br><br>
Speaking to reporters Wednesday, Deora admitted there were reports of diesel shortage from western states, especially Maharashtra.<br><br>
The demand for diesel has reportedly increased by over 20 percent recently, due to demand from power generating units. <br><br>
'The demand-supply gap seems to have widened because of this -,' he said.<br><br>
Deora will now 'seek an explanation' on the shortage at the meeting of heads of state oil companies Aug 19.<br><br>
The oil marketing companies usually post a loss of Rs.23 a litre of diesel due to subsidised retail price.
