For over a year, there has been no significant change in the prices of petrol and diesel in India. The last adjustment in fuel rates was made on May 22nd. Oil marketing companies have recently released the fresh prices for petrol and diesel on October 11th, and surprisingly, there hasn’t been any alteration in the rates.
As of now, the government has not issued any statement regarding when the common man can expect relief from expensive petrol and diesel. The cost of crude oil has been fluctuating, but this hasn’t translated into price changes for petrol and diesel.
Here’s the current fuel price situation in a few major cities:
- Mumbai: Oil – ₹106.31, Diesel – ₹94.27
- Delhi: Oil – ₹96.72, Diesel – ₹89.62
- Chennai: Oil – ₹102.63, Diesel – ₹94.24
