Fuel Prices Unchanged For Sixth Day, Diesel Still Costlier Than Petrol In Delhi

Petrol and diesel costs remained unchanged within the metros on Sunday, a sixth consecutive day of no change following three weeks of day by day hikes. Diesel continued to stay marginally costlier in Delhi in comparison with petrol. State-run oil advertising and marketing firms raised the costs of petrol and diesel – that are decided broadly by international crude oil costs and the rupee-dollar overseas alternate fee – on most days beginning June 7 following a 12-week pause as international oil charges retraced a few of the losses from sharp losses lately.

Here are the most recent petrol and diesel costs in metros (in rupees per litre):

Currently, the costs of petrol is at Rs 80.43 per litre in Delhi and Rs 87.19 per litre in Mumbai. The charges of diesel are at Rs 80.53 per litre and Rs 78.83 per litre within the metros respectively.

Domestic petrol and diesel costs are broadly decided by crude oil and foreign exchange charges, and differ from state to state attributable to worth added tax (VAT).

On Thursday, Brent crude futures – the worldwide benchmark for crude oil – gained almost three per cent to $43.14 per barrel, in comparison with the 21-year low of $15.98 recorded in April. International crude oil costs have regained some floor from March lows because the easing of restrictions on transport and industrial exercise across the globe boosted gas demand.

Currently, the rupee is at 74.64 towards the US greenback, down 6 per cent to this point this yr. 

On June 7, state-run oil advertising and marketing firms Indian Oil, Hindustan Petroleum and Bharat Petroleum  – which account for almost all of petrol and diesel shops within the nation – restarted the conventional system of day by day worth critiques according to prices following an 82-day hiatus.
