Petrol price cut by 91 paise, diesel by 84 paise per litre

December 1, 2014

Petrol priceNew Delhi, Dec 1: Petrol and diesel prices were cut on Sunday as international oil rates continued to slump. This is the seventh reduction in petrol prices since August, while it is the third for diesel.

Petrol price was cut by 91 paise a litre, and diesel by 84 paise per litre, a PTI report stated.

The price reduction will be effective midnight, Indian Oil Corp, the nation's largest fuel retailer, announced in New Delhi.

In Delhi, petrol price will cost Rs.63.33 a litre as compared to Rs.64.24 per litre previously while in Mumbai the reduction will be 96 paise to Rs.70.95 per litre.

Diesel will cost Rs.52.51 a litre in Delhi from Sunday as against Rs.53.35 currently while in Mumbai the price will be cut by 93 paise to Rs.60.11 per litre.

Rates differ from state to state due to differential local sales tax or VAT rates.

The prices of petrol and diesel were last revised downwards on November 1 by Rs.2.41 a litre and Rs.2.25 per litre, respectively (including state levies at Delhi) on the back of declining international oil prices.

"Since the last price changes, the international prices of both petrol and diesel have continued to be on a downtrend.

The Rupee-USD exchange rate has however appreciated since the last price change. The combined impact of both these factors warrant a decrease in retail selling prices of both petrol and diesel," IOC said in the statement.

This is the seventh consecutive reduction in petrol prices since August and third in diesel in rates since October.

Prior to today's reduction, petrol price has been cumulatively cut by Rs.9.36 per litre since August.

Diesel price was cut for the first time in more than five years on October 19 by Rs.3.37 a litre when the government decided to deregulate the fuel. This was followed by another reduction on November 1.

"The movement of prices in international oil market and INR-USD exchange rate shall continue to be closely monitored and developing trends of the market will be reflected in future price changes," the statement said.
