Petrol price

Petrol price to fall by 56 paise

State-owned retailer Indian Oil on Monday announced a 56 paisa cut in the price of petrol prices effective midnight tonight. The reduction comes as the appreciation of rupee against the US dollar has helped state firms make profit on the fuel.

“Presently, the INR-USD exchange rate has shown an appreciating trend. The international oil prices, however, continue to remain firm casting their shadow on prices. There has been significant volatility in international oil prices and the exchange rate. The trends in the international oil market and the exchange rate shall be closely monitored and the same shall be reflected in future price changes,” the retailer said in a release.

Petrol price was last revised on July 24 when it was raised by 70 paise to Rs. 68.48 per litre in Delhi. It was last cut on June 3 when rates were reduced by Rs. 2.02 per litre.
