Notably, due to the cut in excise duty by the Central Government, prices are unchanged in major cities, giving relief to the citizens. Government revised prices on November 4, 2021, cutting excise duty. 

The Delhi Government reduced VAT from 30% (Rs 23.99) to 19.4 % (Rs 15.25 ), resulting reduction in petrol prices.

Reportedly, fuels prices may go down further as the international crude prices have been reduced by over 10% in the last few days.
