Petrol And Diesel Prices In India: Check Latest Rates In Delhi, Mumbai And Other Cities

Petrol and diesel prices in India remained unchanged on February 6, continuing the 8-month trend of stable prices in the country.

Although prices across the major metropolitan cities in India varied, the prices remained around the Rs 100 threshold. Among the four metros, petrol was the costliest in the country’s financial capital, Mumbai. Here, the automotive fuel retailed at Rs 106.31 per litre.
