Petrol-Diesel Price: On Thursday morning, a big change was seen in the prices of petrol and diesel in the country. Government oil companies have released new fuel rates in many cities today. While there has been relief in prices in some places, a slight increase has also been registered in some places.
Especially, in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, the price of petrol has registered a huge drop of ₹ 0.96 per liter, which is one of the biggest drops in recent times. On the other hand, the prices of crude oil in the international market have once again reached close to $ 65 per barrel, which may put pressure on prices in the future.
Biggest drop in Ghaziabad
The price of petrol in Ghaziabad has come down by ₹ 0.96 paise to ₹ 94.44 per liter. Diesel has also become cheaper by ₹1.09 to ₹87.51 per liter. This is a big relief for Ghaziabad consumers, who were grappling with rising fuel costs.

Noida
Petrol became costlier by ₹0.08 paise to ₹94.85 per liter

Fuel prices are fixed every morning at 6 am
New prices of petrol and diesel in the country are released every day at 6 am. These prices include various charges like Excise Duty, Dealer Commission, Value Added Tax (VAT), and other local taxes. Due to these charges, the price received by the consumer is much higher than the basic price of crude oil. This pricing mechanism is dynamic and changes daily based on changes in global crude oil prices, Rupee-Dollar Exchange Rate, and government charges.
