New Delhi, Sep 30 (SocialNews.XYZ) Diesel and petrol rates remained unchanged on Wednesday as oil marketing companies paused after reducing diesel price for the past five days while keeping the petrol price steady.
The development is in line with the movement of global oil prices. Crude prices remained soft for the second successive day as prices fell by up to three per cent in the last trading session.
Continuing coronavirus pandemic has impacted the oil demand and pulled down prices in the absence of any other trigger to lift the markets.
In the national capital, diesel continues to be priced at Rs 70.63 per litre. Similarly, prices in Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata, remained unchanged at Rs 77.04, Rs 76.10 and Rs 74.15 respectively.
