The company's decision to apply for the EoU status was prompted by the fact that it does not get any relief on its retail operations while state-run firms such as Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) get government subsidies on selling fuel below cost, industry sources said. An EOU status means RIL, the country's most valued firm, would not have to pay duty on crude oil imports.
