On Thursday, oil marketing companies (OMCs) kept fuel rates unchanged, which means that petrol and diesel prices have been steady for more than four months now. Therefore, in Delhi, petrol and diesel continue to retail at ₹96.72 and ₹89.62 per litre respectively.
Similarly, in Mumbai, the two fuel components are still available at ₹106.31 and ₹94.27 per litre. The corresponding rates for a litre each of petrol and diesel, in that order, in major cities are: ₹106.03, ₹92.76 (Kolkata), ₹102.63, ₹94.64 (Chennai), ₹101.94, ₹87.89 (Bengaluru), ₹109.66, ₹97.82 (Hyderabad), ₹96.57, ₹89.76 (Lucknow), ₹96.20, ₹84.26 (Chandigarh), ₹97.18, ₹90.05 (Gurugram), and ₹96.79, ₹89.96 (Noida).
