Petrol, diesel to get cheaper as crude oil falls to 13-mth low
New Delhi: Domestic rates of petrol and diesel, down about 4 a litre since mid-January, are set to decline further as crude oil slumped to a 13-month low on Thursday to about $52/barrel on fears that the Covid-19 outbreak may take a heavy toll on global economic growth and oil demand.
Petrol is down 3.74 a litre and diesel 4.41 a litre since mid-January. In Delhi, petrol was priced at 71.96 and diesel 64.65 a litre on Thursday.
