Petrol and diesel prices remain stable for over two consecutive months now, on July 23. As the LPG cooking gas price was hiked this month, it has led to the speculations of increase in the fuel prices. The last change in fuel price was noted on May 21, when the Central Government of India had cut down on the Excise Duty. Following this, the rates dropped by Rs 8 per litre on petrol and Rs 6 per litre on diesel, giving some respite to the common man.
