Petrol and diesel prices remained unchanged on Sunday across India in tune with nearly nine-month long steady trend. As per the notification from fuel companies, petrol in Delhi cost ₹96.72 per litre and diesel ₹89.62 a litre.
In India’s financial capital Mumbai, petrol retails at ₹106.31 per litre while diesel costs ₹94.27 per litre. In Kolkata, the price of 1 litre petrol stands at ₹106.03 while diesel is being sold at ₹92.76 per litre. The rates of petrol and diesel in Chennai are ₹102.63 and ₹94.24 a litre, respectively.
Factors like Value Added Tax (VAT), freight charges, local taxes play a role in the changes to fuel rates, if any. In May, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman had cut the excise duty on petrol by ₹8 per litre and diesel by ₹6 per litre, which was the last time fuel prices in India were revised.
