Petrol, Diesel Prices Today, June 18, 2021: Fuel rates remain unchanged, check prices in your city

On Saturday, June 18, fuel prices in the country remained unchanged for the 28th day in a row.

Prices of fuel and diesel have remained stable since the union government announced an excise duty drop of Rs 8 per litre on petrol and Rs 6 per litre on diesel on May 21.

Petrol in Delhi would cost Rs 96.72 per litre, down from Rs 105.41 per litre previously. Meanwhile, the retail price of diesel in Delhi has dropped to Rs 89.62 a litre from Rs 96.67 previously.

Petrol in Mumbai will cost Rs 111.35 per litre, while diesel consumers will pay Rs 97.28 per litre in the financial capital. Kolkata residents will pay Rs 106.03 per litre for petrol, while residents of West Bengal’s capital would pay Rs 92.7 for diesel. Petrol is priced at Rs 102.63 per litre in Chennai, while diesel is priced at Rs 94.24 per litre.

Public sector OMCs such as Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL), Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL), and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd are responsible for the regular review of petrol and diesel prices in the country (BPCL).

The fuel price is adjusted by OMCs based on a number of factors, including international crude oil prices and foreign exchange rates. Because of local factors such as state taxes, VAT (Value Added Tax), and freight charges, the price of gasoline and diesel differs from state to state.

Following the national government’s relaxation of the excise duty on fuel prices, some state governments decreased VAT on petrol and diesel, bringing prices down. The state government of Kerala reduced the local tax on petrol and diesel prices by Rs 2.41 and Rs 1.36 per litre, respectively.

Odisha’s state-imposed tariffs on gasoline and diesel were reduced by Rs 2.23 and Rs 1.36 per litre, respectively. The Maharashtra state government decreased the VAT on petrol and diesel by Rs 2.08 per litre and Rs 1.44 per litre, respectively. The Rajasthan government reduced the VAT on fuel and diesel by Rs 2.48 per litre and Rs 1.16 per litre, respectively.
