Diesel has maintained its gain over petrol in Delhi as oil marketing
companies kept the prices of auto fuels unchanged on Wednesday after
raising the price of diesel by 25 paisa per litre in the city a day
earlier.
With the retail prices remaining unchanged, diesel is
priced at Rs 80.78 a litre in the National Capital while petrol is
priced at Rs 80.43 a litre. The oil companies also kept petrol and
diesel prices unchanged across the country.
Delhi is the only
metro city where Diesel is priced higher than petrol and this has been
maintained since June 24, when for the time ever the transportation fuel
climbed up over petrol.
Apart from Delhi, diesel is still
cheaper than petrol by Rs 6-8 per litre in other metro cities. Diesel is
priced at Rs 79.05 a litre in Mumbai that is an increase of 22 paisa
over Monday's price, at Rs 77.91 a litre in Chennai (19 paisa increase)
and Rs 75.89 a litre in Kolkata (25 paisa increase).
Officials in
oil marketing companies said that diesel prices are seeing more
volatility in international market so the price changes in the fuel
segment has been higher. But with global oil prices also rising again
and set to touch $43 a barrel, expectation is that fuel prices may again
see an uptick in coming days.
Before Wednesday, Fuel prices
remained unchanged for the seven consecutive day till Tuesday when oil
companies raised the price of diesel.
Prices of the
transportation fuel have had a pause after rising to record levels 23 of
the past 32 days after the oil marketing companies (OMC) resumed the
daily price revision system from June 7 that kept the petrol and diesel
prices to rise incessantly till June 29.
During the daily hike
till June 29, diesel prices in Delhi recorded a new feat by overtaking
petrol prices, making the common man feel the heat.
