No change in petrol, diesel prices

New Delhi, Jan 1: There will be no change in the prices of petrol and diesel despite an indication earlier Thursday that these would be reduced. However, jet fuel (ATF) rates have been cut by a steep 12.5 percent with international oil prices continuing to plunge going below $55 a barrel. The price cut on transport fuels that consumers were expecting on New Year's Day has not been effected for the moment, an IOC source said. The source said that owing to some problems with the server, dates and data were being reflected erroneously earlier Thursday on the company's website, which has now been rectified. The price of aviation turbine fuel (ATF), or jet fuel, at Delhi was cut by Rs.7,520.52 per kilolitre, or 12.5 percent, to Rs.52,422.92 per kl, state-run Indian Oil Corp announced. Prices have also been cut for the non-subsidised LPG cylinder, that a consumer may buy at market rates after exhausting the quota of 12 cooking gas cylinders, by Rs.43.50 in Delhi.
