New Delhi. Government oil companies released new rates of petrol and diesel on Friday morning. The price of crude oil in the global market still remains above $100 per barrel. Therefore, the companies did not make any change in the retail prices of petrol and diesel for the 23rd consecutive day.
Oil companies last increased the prices of petrol and diesel on 6 April. Since then, oil prices have remained stable in all major cities including the four metros of the country. Petrol in the national capital Delhi is being sold more expensive by Rs 105.41 while in Mumbai it is more than Rs 120 a liter. However, the debate is going on between the central and state governments to give relief in oil prices. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has appealed to the states to give relief to the common man from the prices of petrol and diesel by reducing VAT.
