New Delhi: On Tuesday morning, state-run oil companies released the latest petrol and diesel prices across India. While cities like Noida saw a slight drop in fuel rates, Patna experienced a hike. In contrast, prices in major metros like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata remained unchanged.
Crude Oil Impact & Local Taxes
In the past 24 hours, global crude oil prices dipped slightly:
-
Brent Crude: $69.01 per barrel
-
WTI Crude: $66.76 per barrel
However, due to varying state-level taxes, dealer commissions, and transportation charges, this global shift hasn’t reflected uniformly across Indian cities.
