Petroleum companies have once again released the new rates of petrol and diesel at 6 am today as usual. Let me tell you all that like many previous Mondays, this Monday is also a relief this time. In fact, there has been no change in the price of petrol and diesel for the 51st consecutive day today. Let us tell you all that today the cheapest petrol is Rs 84.10 in Port Blair and diesel is Rs 79.74 litre. Due to the continuous stay of petrol and diesel prices, there is also zeal among the people.

Let us also tell you all that you can also check the price of petrol and diesel in your city daily through SMS. Indian Oil (IOC) consumers can write RSP to 9224992249 number and HPCL consumers can send HP PRICE to 9222201122 number. On the other hand, BPCL consumers can write RSP and send it to the 9223112222 number. At the same time, if the rupee strengthens, the import of crude oil will be cheaper.

This will give an opportunity to reduce the prices of petrol and diesel. Let us also tell all of you that if the dollar is one rupee expensive, there is a burden of 8 thousand crore rupees on the oil companies. In fact, crude oil was at $106.78 a barrel this morning, while according to the Citigroup report, crude oil could come down to $65 a barrel by December this year and $45 a barrel next year due to a fall in demand and increased supply. If this happens, the prices of petrol and diesel will be affected.
