NEW DELHI: Diesel prices in Delhi will come down by more than Rs 8 a litre from midnight with the government deciding to cut value added tax on the fuel. City transporters welcomed the step as they had been demanding this for some time now.
After a Cabinet meeting on Thursday, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said VAT on diesel would be brought down to 16.75 per cent from 30 per cent. This decision will bring down the diesel prices by Rs 8.36 per litre.
