New Delhi: Fuel prices witnessed another large slash on Friday as international crude oil prices continued to go down and the Indian rupee also appreciated in opposition to the US dollar. On Friday, petrol, diesel prices cut down between 40-45 paise per litre across all metro cities of the nation.

After today's price slash, petrol was priced at Rs 75.57 in Delhi while diesel was being sold at Rs 70.56 as against Rs 70.97 on Thursday. Talking about Mumbai, petrol became cheaper by 40 paise per litre while diesel price was slashed by 43 paise per litre to Rs 81.10 and Rs 73.91 respectively.
