Fuel prices had been soaring since the past few months in the country, burning a hole in commuters’ pockets. The Opposition parties have repeatedly blamed the Centre for the steep hike in the fuel price. However, the

Central government has maintained that global crude oil prices and other international factors are responsible for the increase in prices of petroleum products. Domestic fuel prices in India depend upon the international fuel prices on a 15-day average and the value of the Indian rupee.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had on October 4 announced a reduction of Rs 2.50 per litre on both petrol and diesel prices after curbing excise duty on the commodity by Rs 1.50 per litre. He had also directed all state governments to slash rates.
