Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) continue to sell fuel at unchanged prices for the 53rd consecutive day on Thursday, July 14. The retail price of petrol in Mumbai continues to be at Rs 111.35 per litre, while the retail price of diesel in the capital city of Maharashtra remains at Rs 97.28 per litre. One litre of petrol in Chennai is being retailed for Rs 102.63 per litre, while a litre of diesel in the capital city of Tamil Nadu stands at Rs 94.24 per litre.
Similarly, fuel prices in Kolkata and Delhi remain steady. Petrol and diesel prices in Kolkata stand at Rs 106.03 and Rs 92.76 per litre, respectively. Whereas, petrol in Delhi continues to be at Rs 96.72 per litre and diesel cost remains at Rs 89.62 per litre.
Prices of the two fuels have remained unchanged from May 21 when Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman slashed excise duty on petrol by Rs 8 and reduced excise duty levied on diesel sales by Rs 6. Following this announcement, the retail price of petrol was reduced by Rs 8.69 per litre and the cost of diesel was cut by Rs 7.05 per litre in the national capital city on May 22.
Public sector OMCs like Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL), Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) revise fuel prices in India. Revisions made by the OMCs in fuel prices are implemented from 6 am every day. Fuel prices are influenced by several factors including foreign exchange rates and international crude oil prices in the global market. The retail price of petrol and diesel differs from state to state within the country because of factors like local taxes like VAT or freight charges.
