Petrol and diesel prices in the country remained static for the 30th consecutive day on Monday.
Accordingly, in the national capital, petrol continues to be sold for Rs 101.84 per litre, while diesel is also being sold at the unchanged price of Rs 89.87 a litre on Monday.
Across the country as well, fuel prices remained unchanged providing some relief to the consumers already feeling the heat of higher inflation that has raised prices of several other commodities including food items.
Global crude prices have now softened to below $ 70 a barrel after it swung in all directions in July starting with a low of $70 a barrel to quickly rise to over $ 77 a barrel, only to fall soon below $ 70 a barrel and crossing $ 75 a barrel later in the month.
