(Pooja Dubey, Intern Journalist) There has been no change in the price of petrol and diesel by the government oil companies today. Petrol and diesel prices in Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai and Kolkata remain the same.The price of petrol in Delhi is Rs 80.43 per liter and the price of diesel is Rs 81.94 per liter.
The price of one liter of petrol in Kolkata, Mumbai, and Chennai is 82.10, 87.19, and 83.63 per liter respectively. Talking about diesel, its price in these metros is 77.04, 80.11, and 78.86 respectively.
The price of petrol and diesel changes at six o’clock every day. The new rates are applicable from 6 o’clock in the morning. After adding excise duty, dealer commission, and other things to the price of petrol and diesel, its price almost doubles. Petrol and diesel prices change every day, depending on what the crude prices are in the international market with foreign exchange rates.
On the basis of these standards, the oil companies do the work of fixing the petrol rate and diesel rate daily. The dealers are the people running the petrol pumps. They sell gasoline at retail prices to consumers after adding taxes and their own margins. This cost is also added to the petrol rate and diesel rate.
