OMCs continue to hold petrol, diesel prices as global crude rates ease

Oil marketing companies continued to keep the petrol and diesel prices unchanged for nearly a month now on the backdrop of easing crude oil prices.

On Sunday, petrol price in the national capital continued 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.

Across the country as well, fuel prices remained unchanged providing some relief to consumers already feeling the heat of higher inflation that has raised prices of several other commodities including food items.

The October contract of Brent crude oil on the Intercontinental Exchange is at $70.59 per barrel.
