Petrol price cut by Rs 8/litre in Delhi, Kejriwal govt cuts VAT on petrol
Petrol price in Delhi is to get cheaper by Rs 8 after the Delhi Cabinet decided to cut VAT on petrol from 30 per cent to 19.4 per cent, reported the media on Wednesday.
दिल्ली में आज हमने पेट्रोल काफ़ी सस्ता कर दिया। VAT की दर 30% से घटाकर 19.4% कर दी। NCR के अन्य शहरों के मुक़ाबले दिल्ली में पेट्रोल और डीज़ल सस्ता हो गया।
मैं उम्मीद करता हूँ कि इस कदम से दिल्ली के लोगों को महंगाई से राहत मिलेगी।— Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) December 1, 2021
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted: “Petrol and diesel prices in Delhi are cheap now than NCR and other cities. I hope that with this move, Delhiites will get some relief from inflation.”
From midnight today, vehicle users can buy petrol in Delhi by Rs 8 cheaper.
On the eve of Diwali this year, the Centre cut excise duty by Rs 5 per litre on petrol and Rs 10 per litre on diesel to bring down the retail prices across the country.
Several States have already cut VAT on petrol and diesel.
