Petrol, diesel prices unchanged even as global markets remain volatile
Fuel prices in the country have
remained steady for over a fortnight now even though global oil market remains
volatile with regular variations in prices.
Accordingly,
petrol continues to be priced at Rs 91.17 a litre and diesel Rs 81.47 a litre
in the capital here on Tuesday. Fuel prices have not been revised now for 17
days.
Across
the country as well, the petrol and diesel price remain unchanged. However, the
pause has not helped in bringing down fuel prices that have crossed Rs 100 per
litre (petrol) mark in several parts of the country.
Since the
beginning of February crude has gained more than $7 per barrel that pushed OMCs
to increase fuel prices on 14 occasions raising the prices by Rs 4.22 per litre
for petrol and by Rs 4.34 a litre for diesel in Delhi. Crude is now sitting at
around $69 a barrel.
The
petrol and diesel prices have increased 26 times in 2021 with the two auto
fuels increasing by Rs 7.46 and Rs 7.60 per litre, respectively so far this
year. Read More
