Petrol, Diesel rates on Saturday remained stable in all metros, including at the country's capital, New Delhi and other cities including Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai.
Motorists can heave a sigh of relief on Saturday regarding the rate of petrol and diesel (fuel prices today) as the fuel rates today remained stable in all metros, including at the country's capital, New Delhi and other cities including Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai.
Across the metros, petrol and diesel prices are keeping steady for the past five days as pump prices of auto fuels have not been changed.
On Friday, diesel prices fell by a sharp Rs 8.38 a litre following Delhi government's decision to reduce VAT on the product from 30 per cent to 16.75 per cent.
The price cut made diesel cheaper than petrol in the city after more than a month. In fact, diesel is cheaper than petrol in Delhi by the widest margin among all metros now.
Delhi was the only major city in the country where diesel prices were higher than petrol. Diesel prices first rose above petrol`s in Delhi last month, much to the discomfort of the transport sector and the fuel dealers.

Commodity experts say that there has been a halt in the increase of petrol and diesel prices, due to cheaper international crude oil rates. Crude oil prices may fall further in the coming days. Because of the fear of coronavirus, the demand for international crude oil is declining again. That's why there is a possibility of a further drop in prices.
