Petrol and diesel prices reduced by Rs 2 per litre

16 Jul 2015 Evaluate

Falling international crude prices have led the oil marketing companies (OMCs) to go for the second consecutive reduction in petrol and diesel prices this month. The price of petrol was cut by Rs 2 per litre and that of diesel too by Rs 2 per litre (excluding State levies). The new rates announced by the oil marketing companies are effective from midnight of 15th July / 16th July, 2015.

Price of petrol was last cut on July 1 by 31 paise per litre and diesel by 71 paise a litre. The July 1 reduction in petrol prices came on back of three successive increases since May. In case of diesel, the July 1 cut was the second reduction in rates since June.

The oil companies have said that since last price change, there has been a decrease in international prices of both Petrol & Diesel. INR-USD exchange rate has also appreciated during this period. Combined impacts of both these factors warrant the said downward revisions.

However, petrol would actually become costlier in the National capital due to the increase in the VAT rate, while the decrease in diesel prices would be lower in Delhi. The VAT rate on petrol has been increased from 20% to 25% and on diesel from 12.5% to 16.6% in National capital, thereby resulting increase in the price of petrol by Rs 2.78 per litre (approx.) and in the price of diesel Rs 1.83 per litre. Petrol in Delhi will cost Rs 66.90 per litre from tomorrow instead of Rs 66.62 at present. A litre of diesel will cost Rs 49.72 per litre as against Rs 50.22 earlier.
