Following the reduction, petrol is being sold at Rs 78.21 per litre in Delhi and Rs 83.72 per litre in Mumbai. Diesel is being retailed at Rs 72.89 per litre and Rs 76.38 per litre in Delhi and Mumbai respectively.

The news agency ANI quoted, “Petrol and diesel prices in #Delhi are Rs 78.21 per litre (decrease by Rs 0.21) and Rs 72.89 per litre (decrease by Rs 0.18), respectively. Petrol and diesel prices in #Mumbai are Rs 83.72 per litre (decrease by Rs 0.20) and Rs 76.38 per litre (decrease by Rs 0.19), respectively.”

The price of petrol in Kolkata was slashed to Rs 80.13 while that of diesel was at Rs 74.75. In Chennai, the price of petrol was Rs 81.24 and that of diesel was Rs 77.05.

Importantly, the petrol price has been cut by over Rs 4 per litre and diesel by more than Rs 2.30 in the last 19 days on softer international rates. Rates have been on the decline since October 18.

October 18’s cut in the prices of fuel was the first reduction in over two months because of a drop in the cost of production. Petrol and diesel prices were cut by 21 paise and 11 paise across cities, a notification by oil retailers said. Before fuel rates started falling on October 18, petrol and diesel prices had touched unprecedented levels across the country.

On October 4, fuel prices were cut by a minimum Rs 2.50. On October 5 when the government’s cut in excise duty of Rs 1.50 per litre was implemented, then state-owned fuel retailers provided a Re 1 per litre subsidy. In BJP-ruled states, the reduction was higher as they matched the cut with a similar reduction in local sales tax or VAT.

Delhi, which did not cut VAT on fuel, still has the cheapest fuel among all the metros and bulk of state capital as it levies lower taxes. On the other side, Mumbai despite reducing VAT on petrol still has the highest priced fuel.
