 Petrol and Diesel Today July 2021. Check Prices in Your City

Welcome back to our informative blog site knowing steps360. Petrol and diesel prices have remained unchanged on Friday. At present, the fuel rates are all-time high in India. Petrol is selling at over Rs 100 in all four metro cities — Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai. State-run oil marketing companies last hiked the prices of petrol and diesel on July 8.

Three-Digit Price in Petrol & Diesel

Diesel prices have done a fair job of catching up to the petrol rates across the metros. While petrol swings its weight in the triple digits, diesel is reaching that point. In some cities outside the metros, the price of diesel even exceeds the petrol rates. In Mumbai diesel is retailing at Rs 97.18 per litre. In Delhi, the going rate for diesel is Rs 89.62 per litre. Kolkata holds strong with its price of Rs 92.65 per litre, beating out the nation’s capital. The city of Chennai is retailing diesel at a rate of Rs 92.15 per litre. State-run oil companies in Bangalore are giving motorists a diesel price of Rs 94.99 per litre.

Highest petrol rates in the country

Outside the metro cities mentioned, as many as 16 states and Union Territories across India have seen the petrol rates go well past the Rs 100-a-litre mark. 

These states are Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Punjab, Ladakh, Sikkim, Jammu and Kashmir and Odisha, Kolkata, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Delhi. Rajasthan and Madya Pradesh have the highest petrol rates in the country. Rajasthan’s petrol rate in Ganganagar stands at Rs 111.87 per litre. In Madya Pradesh’s Bhopal, petrol retails for Rs 108.88 per litre.

VAT Increased Reason For Petrol Price High

The price of petrol and diesel is so high due in part to the state-level value-added tax (VAT) that is levied. This makes up the majority of the price share, while the rest falls to excise duty, port duty, transportation and retail rates. It all eventually comes down to the international crude oil prices and the currency conversion rate of Dollar to Rupee.

 Over 60 per cent of the existing petrol price is made up of taxes. For diesel, this bracket comes to around 53 per cent as per a report by the Times of India. The second-highest bracket is excise duty charged on both types of fuel.

Benchmark US crude oil for August delivery climbed 74 cents. This made the final price $72.94 per barrel on Thursday. Brent crude oil for the September delivery went up by 69 cents to $74.12 per barrel, according to an AP report.
