Giving some respite and snapping the rising trend, the PSU Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have cut the price of petrol and diesel by 89 paise a litre and 49 paise a litre respectively, in order to align the domestic rates of the two automobile fuels with global price benchmarks. This is the first decrease in rates in two months.

The price cut is inclusive of state levies and will vary from State to State and will be effective midnight June 30/July 1.Following the revision, petrol in the national capital will cost Rs 64.76 a litre as compared to Rs 65.65 per litre currently. Similarly, diesel will cost Rs 54.70 per litre as against Rs 55.19 a litre currently.

In the last revision on June 16, petrol price was hiked by 5 paise a litre and diesel by Rs 1.26 a litre. Petrol prices in the four hikes since May 1, had moved up by Rs 4.52 a litre, while diesel rates had gone up by Rs 7.72 per litre. Apart from an exemption on April 16, when price of petrol was cut by 74 paise a litre and diesel by Rs 1.30, the upward trend in rates had been a phenomenon since March 17.
