Petrol price cut by 6 paise, diesel by 5 paise

The trend of miniscule reduction in petrol and diesel prices continued for the third consecutive day on Friday with oil firms cutting rates by 6 paise and 5 paise a litre respectively.
The reductions follow softening of international oil rates and the rupee gaining against the US dollar.

Petrol in Delhi now costs Rs 78.29 a litre, down from Rs 78.35, according to a price notification issued by state-owned oil firms.

Diesel rates have been cut to Rs 69.20 per litre from Rs 69.25.
