Crude oil has been witnessing a continuous decline for the last few days and it has fallen to a low of 7 months. Although the oil companies have not made any change in the rate of petrol-diesel despite the record fall. On the other hand, due to the decrease in crude, the demand for reducing the price of petrol and diesel in the domestic market has increased. Let us tell you that the experts also expect that the companies can reduce the price of oil in the coming time. In fact, earlier on May 22, the government had cut the excise duty on petrol and diesel. Due to this, the common man got relief in price.
However, this change in price has happened about three and a half months ago and after that the price of oil has also changed in Maharashtra and Meghalaya. In fact, after the formation of the Shinde government in Maharashtra, the reduction in VAT made petrol cheaper by Rs 5 and diesel by Rs 3 a litre. Let us tell you that the price of crude oil continues to fall. Today i.e. Friday morning, the price of WTI crude reached $82.91 per barrel. Whereas Brent crude was seen at $88.62 per barrel. Crude oil is currently running at a low of 7 months. At present, petrol in Delhi is Rs 96.72 and diesel Rs 89.62 per liter, while in Mumbai petrol is Rs 111.35 and diesel Rs 97.28 per liter.
While in Chennai, petrol is Rs 102.63 and diesel Rs 94.24 per litre, in Kolkata petrol is Rs 106.03 and diesel Rs 92.76 per litre.
