Petrol, Diesel Price Today: Petrol Price Over Rs 100 in Several Cities; How Much You Have to Pay

Petrol and diesel prices remain stable for over two consecutive months now, on July 23. As the LPG cooking gas price was hiked this month, it has led to the speculations of increase in the fuel prices. The last change in fuel price was noted on May 21, when the Central Government of India had cut down on the Excise Duty. Following this, the rates dropped by Rs 8 per litre on petrol and Rs 6 per litre on diesel, giving some respite to the common man.

Not just this, adding up to the decision of the Central Government, various state governments even reduced the VAT on the fuel prices in their states. In Kerala, the VAT was Rs 2.41 and Rs 1.36 per litre on the prices of petrol and diesel respectively. The Odisha government too slashed down state-imposed tax on petrol and diesel by Rs 2.23 and Rs 1.36 per litre, respectively. The Maharashtra government decided to give a relief to people by cutting down additional Rs 2.08 and Rs 1.44 per litre on petrol and diesel whereas, in Rajasthan state tax was reduced by Rs 2.48 per litre on petrol and Rs 1.16 per litre on diesel.
