NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is likely to meet Finance Minister P Chidambaram and Petroleum Minister Murali Deora in a week's time on fuel pricing.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a gas summit Deora said, "The meeting may take place next week."

The Rangarajan Committee, appointed by Prime Minister last week, submitted its recommendation for a hike in petrol, diesel and LPG prices and duty cut on transportation fuel.
