Fuel prices on Tuesday, i.e August 09, were left untouched by Oil Marketing Companies. It has been more than two months now that the petrol and diesel prices stand firm in the Indian market, except in Maharashtra. The Maharashtra Government had announced a cut in Value Added Tax (VAT) on the retail prices of petrol and diesel by Rs 5 per litre and Rs 3 per litre, respectively on July 15.

The fuel prices in India have remained stagnant ever since Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced a reduction in excise duty on the fuel rates. The petrol prices fell by Rs 8 per litre and diesel by Rs 6 per litre.

On August 09, the petrol price stands firm at Rs 96.72 per litre and diesel is being sold at Rs 89.62 per litre in the national capital. Mumbai’s revised petrol and diesel prices are Rs 106.35 per litre and Rs 94.28 per litre, respectively. In Kolkata, petrol is at Rs 106.03 per litre and diesel is sold at a rate of Rs 92.76 per litre. The petrol and diesel rates in Chennai stand at Rs 102.63 and Rs 94.24 per litre, respectively.

The fuel prices are still sky-rocketing even after the Centre reduced the excise duty. The financial capital, Mumbai has the highest fuel rates among the metropolitan cities. Petrol and diesel rates vary across the states due to local taxes, VAT, freight charges, and so on. The fuel prices are revised daily on the basis of crude oil prices in the international markets and the rupee-dollar exchange rates.
