Petrol and diesel prices in India remained unchanged by the oil marketing companies (OMCs) on Tuesday, August 23, yet again. There were expectations of ease in the fuel prices as the international rates for crude oil fell in the last week.

The fuel prices in India were last altered on May 22 this year when the government announced an excise duty cut revising the petrol prices by Rs. 8 per litre and the diesel prices by Rs. 6 per litre. State-wise, Maharashtra was the last to make amendments to its fuel prices. The state government reduced the Value Added Tax (VAT) on petrol by Rs. 5 per litre and by Rs. 3 per litre on diesel.

In Delhi, the petrol prices have remained steady at Rs. 96.72 per litre while the diesel price stands at Rs. 89.62 per litre. In Mumbai, the fuel rate is Rs. 106.31 per litre (petrol) and Rs. 94.27 per litre (diesel). Kolkata has a petrol price of Rs. 106.03 per litre while diesel costs Rs. 92.76 per litre in the city. The rate of petrol in Chennai is Rs. 102.75 per litre while the diesel there is sold at Rs. 94.24 per litre.

Fuel prices in the states differ due to varying taxes and the cost of transportation incurred by the central and state government.
