On the other hand, diesel is priced at Rs 73.56 per litre in Delhi and Rs 80.11 per litre in Mumbai. Except for Delhi, diesel prices across all metros have remained unchanged since July 26.

This is because the Delhi government recently cut diesel prices by Rs 8.36 per litre after rolling back the VAT (Value added Tax) hike.

Earlier, the Delhi government increased VAT on diesel from 16.75 per cent to 30 per cent.

The May 5 VAT hike translated into the steepest ever price increase of Rs 7.10 per litre for diesel. Until July 29, diesel rates in the national capital surged to Rs 81.94 per litre.
