Hindustan Petroleum urged the government to provide complete GST compensation and introduce reforms during a recent council meeting.
During a council meeting, Hindustan Petroleum (HP) formally requested that the government grant full compensation for the Goods and Services Tax (GST) that the company has been paying since the tax's implementation. The oil firm highlighted the financial strain caused by the current GST structure and argued that full reimbursement is essential for maintaining its operational stability.
HP also called for broader reforms in the GST regime, suggesting that clearer guidelines and streamlined processes would benefit the entire petroleum sector. The company's representatives emphasized that such changes would reduce compliance burdens and improve market efficiency.
The demand was presented to council members, who are expected to review the proposal and forward it to relevant authorities for further consideration. No immediate response from the government was reported at the time of the meeting.
