Gogoi, in an statement, said the state has been incurring revenue losses due to disbursement of oil royalty at highly discounted price to Central government PSUs.
Raising the issue of underpayment of royalty in a letter to Modi, Gogoi said: "a special category and resource- constrained state like Assam cannot afford such a huge loss of revenue.
"Oil producing states like Assam should not be denied the benefits of its natural resources and made to compensate for the under-recoveries of the Central oil marketing PSUs," he said.
