Petrol and diesel prices in India have remained constant on December 20. Fuel prices in most cities in the country have remained the same since November 4, when the Centre dropped the excise tax on petrol by Rs.5 and diesel by Rs.10 each litre in both cases, excluding Delhi, where it has gotten cheaper. Several states and union territories have decreased value-added tax (VAT) as a consequence of the reduction, offering additional relief to customers who have been stung by record-high retail prices. 

Today, in the nation's capital, Delhi, the cost of petrol is Rs 95.41 per litre, while diesel costs Rs 86.67 per litre. A litre of petrol costs 109.98 rupees in Mumbai, while a litre of diesel costs 94.14. Mumbai has the highest gasoline prices of any metropolis. It's worth mentioning that, due to VAT, the above-mentioned prices vary per state.
