Fuel prices in India continued their consistent streak despite fluctuation in the international market. The prices of petrol and diesel have remained unchanged for over 310 days following the price freeze that Indian Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) levied to cover the losses made in the previous quarters. The prices of petrol and diesel are usually revised every day at 6 am.
In Mumbai, one litre of petrol cost Rs 106.31 whereas in Kolkata the fuel type was retailing at Rs 106.03. People living in Chennai will have to shell out Rs 102. 63 for a litre of petrol. Delhi was the only major metropolitan city in the country where petrol was under Rs 100. Here, one litre of petrol cost Rs 96.72.
While diesel prices were lower than petrol rates, it still burned a hole in the commoner’s pocket. Like petrol, diesel was costliest in Mumbai, retailing at Rs 94.27 per litre. In Chennai, the price trends followed similar suit with the fuel costing Rs 94.24 for a litre. Kolkata was just behind, with diesel priced at Rs 92.76 per litre.
