Petrol and diesel prices remained unchanged for the 150th straight day. The fuel prices were last changed on May 22 this year. The changes in fuel price took place after the Narendra Modi government cut excise duty on petrol and diesel. The move led to the petrol prices being slashed by ₹9.5 per litre and that of diesel by ₹7 per litre. Some states had cut Value Added Tax to give relief to the consumers.
