In Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata, diesel was sold for Rs 74.88, Rs 81.60, Rs 80.19 and Rs 78.47 per litre, respectively.

Auto fuel price rise was on hold for the last five days after petrol and diesel prices had increased on two successive days last week on Wednesday and Thursday taking gasoline to record high levels in Delhi while keeping prices very close to record high levels in other metro cities.

The recent surge in fuel prices came on the back of surge in crude oil prices as the price of benchmark Brent crude rose over $57 a barrel. It has, however, declined and now is around $55 per barrel.

The rise is primarily on account of Saudi Arabia`s decision on unilateral production cuts to balance oil prices on pandemic-affected demand reduction in an oversupplied market.
