The new petrol and diesel prices came into effect on Sunday a day after the Narendra Modi government's decision to slash the excise duty on auto fuels. The decision means that petrol is now cheaper by Rs 8.69 per litre (Delhi) while the price of diesel has come down by Rs 7.05 per litre after taking into account its impact on other levies.

The excise duty reduction has provided some relief for consumers, who have already been reeling under record-high inflation.
