Petrol, Diesel Prices on Tuesday: Fuel prices continue their steady streak for the 24th day in a row on Tuesday, June 13.

On Tuesday, Petrol consumers in Delhi, will be paying Rs 96.72 a litre as compared to Rs 105.41 per litre, earlier; while consumers of diesel in the national capital will be paying Rs 89.62 a litre as against Rs 96.67 per litre earlier.

Revision of petrol and diesel prices is a regular process carried out by public sector OMCs like Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL), Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL), and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL). Fuel price revisions made by the OMCs are influenced by several variables including international crude oil prices and foreign exchange rates. The price of petrol and diesel varies from state to state due to local factors like state taxes, VAT (Value Added Tax), and freight charges, among others.

Following the Centre’s move to relax Excise Duty on fuel prices several state governments also reduced local taxes. The Kerala government announced a reduction in tax on the prices of petrol and diesel by Rs 2.41 and Rs 1.36 per litre respectively.
