Petrol and diesel prices across the country continue their steady streak on Tuesday, February 8. The state-owned oil marketing companies (OMCs) at 6:00 AM IST updated the list for the fuel prices across various states in the country and the rates maintained where they were yesterday. Accordingly, a litre of petrol in Delhi costs Rs 95.41, whereas a litre of diesel costs Rs 86.67 in the national capital. The fuel is relatively cheaper in the city as compared to the rest of the metros because the Delhi state government had earlier decided to reduce the Value-Added Tax (VAT) on petrol, which brought down the price of the fuel in the city by about Rs 8 per litre.
In Mumbai, too, the fuel prices remained steady, as a litre of petrol can be bought at Rs 109.98 per litre, whereas one litre of diesel costs Rs 94.14.
Notably, the prices have been stable since early November last year when the Union government reduced excise duty to bring down retail prices that had touched an all-time high. The state-run OMCs have neither raised nor reduced petrol and diesel rates since then and the prices have remained unchanged for the 95th day on Tuesday.
According to Reuters, international crude oil prices settled lower amid signs of progress in nuclear talks between the United States and Iran. Brent crude futures settled down 58 cents, or 0.6%, at $92.69 a barrel on Tuesday after earlier hitting a session high of $94.00, its highest since October 2014. The U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures dropped 99 cents or 1.3% to settle at $91.32 per barrel after touching $92.73.
