Yesterday, numerous media outlets said that the cost of petrol and diesel would be reduced by 40 paise per litre. Starting on November 1 at 6 a.m., the new rates will be in effect.

Given that the price of crude oil has been declining and staying consistent for some time, the price decline was anticipated. The cost of crude oil has been below 95 dollars per barrel for some time now.
