New Delhi: Today on Thursday, the prices of petrol and diesel remained stable across the country, which has brought relief to the consumers. There is definitely movement in crude oil in the international market, but its direct impact is not visible on Indian fuel prices at present. This is the reason why rates are running at almost the same level from big cities to common areas.
However, due to taxes, prices still remain high in metros. Especially in cities like Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai, petrol is being recorded at or above Rs 100, which is affecting the budget of consumers.
Delhi rates
In Delhi today petrol was recorded at Rs 94.72 and diesel at Rs 87.62 per litre. These prices are much lower than other big metros of the country. Consumers are getting relief due to relatively less tax pressure in the capital.
prices in mumbai
In Mumbai, petrol is available at Rs 103.44 and diesel at Rs 89.97 per litre. Due to high VAT here, petrol and diesel are costlier than other cities. Its direct impact is being seen on the pockets of consumers.
