Explanation:

The petroleum industry body has recently raised the issue of base oil being sold in the garb of biodiesel. Base oil costs around Rs 70 per litre, much less than the price of normal diesel which have risen over Rs 100 recently

Base oil is a waste derivate of diesel and other oils and is used in industrial applications.

But after the spike in fuel prices, illegal sale of base oil as a motor fuel has increased significantly.

It not only damages parts of vehicles, but is also highly polluting.

There have been demands from various quarters that the government should fix the end-user uses of the base oil so that its illegal and consumer harming use can be checked.
