New Delhi: Tuesday saw a little increase in oil prices following the enactment of a G7 price ceiling on Russian seaborne oil on top of the European Union's prohibition on such imports. The price of Brent crude futures had increased 66 cents to $83.34 per barrel. WTI increased by 70 cents to $77.63 a barrel. Despite the hip-hop trend of prices of crude oil in the global markets, petrol and diesel prices have remained largely stable in India. However, the price of gasoline and diesel in India has stayed largely steady since the central government cut the tax charge.
The Center reduced the excise duty on gasoline by Rs 8 per litre and on diesel by Rs 6 per litre in May of this year, which resulted in the last big decrease in fuel prices. In India, the price of gasoline and diesel is updated every midnight based on the global situation. Delhi's current per-liter prices are Rs 96.72 for gasoline and Rs 89.62 for diesel.
