New Delhi, June 10: Fuel prices were today slashed for the twelfth straight day. Petrol price is cut by 24 paise to Rs 76.78 and diesel by 18 paise to Rs 68.10 in Delhi.
Across other metro cities, petrol dipped to Rs 79.44 in Kolkata, Rs 84.61 in Mumbai, and Rs 79.69 in Chennai.
Diesel, on the other hand, is selling at Rs 72.51 in Mumbai, 19 paise less since June 9. In Kolkata and Chennai, prices per litre fell to Rs 72.51 and Rs 71.89.
The 12 days of the continuous dip in fuel prices comes as a minor relief since rates were hiked constantly for a period of 16 days.
Union oil minister Dharmendra Pradhan on recent oil price hike said that petroleum prices should be brought under the GST purview that will help in checking volatility in fuel prices.
