The state-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) have not revised the prices of petrol and diesel across the country on Saturday, November 20, 2021. Petrol and diesel prices have maintained stability in the domestic market amid fluctuating crude oil prices in the international market.

According to the Indian Oil Corporation, petrol in Delhi is retailing at Rs 103.97 per litre whereas diesel is available at Rs 86.67 per litre in the national capital.

In India’s financial hub, Mumbai, petrol costs Rs 109.98 per litre and people have to shell out Rs 94.14 for one litre of diesel, which is still the highest among four metro cities.

In Tamil Nadu’s capital, Chennai, one litre of petrol is being sold at Rs 101.56 and the price of diesel remained unchanged at Rs 91.58 per litre.

Similarly, the prices of petrol and diesel remained unaltered in Kolkata and stood at Rs 104.67 and Rs 89.79 per litre, respectively.

Notably, the prices of petrol and diesel have remained static since taxes levied on fuel were slashed by the Centre, followed by some states on November 4, which led to a sharp fall in the prices of petrol and diesel, providing relief to the common man from aching all-time high fuel rates.
