Russia's oil pipeline monopoly Transneft has requested Federal Tariff Service's permission to raise prices 2-3% from January 1, a service spokesman told RIA Novosti on Friday.
Transneft head Nikolai Tokarev has said the company had enough funds to service its debt and it did not plan any tariff increases next year.
In 2010, Transneft raised its prices three times - by 15.9% on January 1, by 3.3% on August 1 and by 9.9% on December 1.
