Petrol and Diesel Prices Steady in Major Indian Cities Amid Global Oil Price Fluctuations
Petrol and diesel prices remained largely steady across major Indian cities on November 5 and 6, despite the Centre removing the additional excise duty on petrol exports effective October 31. Fuel costs vary by state due to local taxes and freight charges, with New Delhi showing relatively lower prices compared to other metros. Global oil prices have fluctuated amid Middle East tensions, with Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate experiencing significant weekly declines, influenced by geopolitical developments and market reactions to the US midterm elections.
