Petrol and diesel prices steady on Monday

Prices of petrol and diesel continued to remain steady on Monday as Oil Marketing Companies decided to wait and watch before affecting any change.

There has been no change in prices for the past 45 days. The Centre had cut the excise duty on petrol and diesel on the eve of Diwali and that was followed up by various states cutting local taxes to provide some relief for consumers who had been reeling under high fuel prices.
