Petrol, diesel prices in Delhi reduced

New Delhi, Feb 15 (UNI) The Government today decided to reduce the price of petrol by Rs two per litre and diesel by rupee one per litre in Delhi with effect from midnight.

The burden will be met partly by revenues and partly through oil bonds already approved by the Government, Oil and Petroleum Minister Murli Deora told reporters here.

After the deduction, the retail selling price of petrol in Delhi will be Rs 42.85 per litre and of diesel Rs 30.25 a litre.

Mr Deora said the prices in other states would vary marginally.
