Today’s fuel and diesel prices: Petrol and diesel prices remained steady for the fourth consecutive day on Monday, November 8, 2021. The fuel prices were last changed on Thursday (November 4) after the central government reduced the excise levy on the two main fuels to bring them down from record highs.
In Delhi, the price of petrol is Rs 103.97 a litre, while diesel is Rs 86.67. According to data from the Indian Oil Corporation’s website, petrol costs Rs 109.98 in Mumbai, while diesel costs Rs 94.14.
Last week, on Wednesday, the Finance Ministry announced a Rs 5 per litre reduction in excise duty on petrol and a Rs 10 reduction in excise duty on diesel. This is the first drop in central excise duties in over three years, despite record-high fuel costs. The duty reduction reduces the total excise duty on petrol to Rs 27.9 per litre, down from Rs 32.9 per litre, and diesel to Rs 21.8 per litre, down from Rs 31.8 per litre.
In addition to lowering the excise charge, the central government encouraged state governments to slash VAT on gasoline and diesel to provide assistance to customers. Several states have announced new reductions in Value Added Tax (VAT) on gasoline and diesel.
Auto fuel prices in the United States vary by state due to local taxation (VAT) and freight charges. Aside from that, the central government levies an excise levy on automobile fuels.
