Senior officials said the Delhi government is likely to approve reduction in VAT on petrol in the Cabinet meeting.

Petrol costs ₹103.97 a litre in Delhi, ₹95.51 a litre in Noida, and ₹95.90 a litre in Gurugram.

As a result, Delhi has been losing customers to filling stations in these satellite cities that are in neighbouring states.
