New Delhi: On Sunday, November 21, the price of petrol and diesel had stayed steady for nearly 20 days, with only three straight price increases in the current month. According to a notification from the state-run oil marketing businesses, the rates of various auto fuels have remained unchanged for the 18th day in a row (OMCs).
After the Union government decided to reduce the excise duty on motor fuel at the beginning of this month, the price of gasoline and diesel fell substantially. On the eve of Diwali, the central government slashed excise duty on petrol by Rs 5 per litre and diesel by Rs 10 per litre after getting complaints from the general public and opposition parties.
Following this decision, various states, largely run by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and its supporters, have reduced the VAT on gasoline and diesel prices. As a result, the price of petrol in most Indian states has dropped below Rs 100.
