The government said there would not be any increase in the diesel rate and its current rate will continue. Das, however, said rates on petrol in some neighbouring states were more than that of the rates in Jharkhand and after a study of their rates a suitable decision would be taken.

On September 15, the Cabinet had revised Vat to bring stability in the rate of petrol and diesel in the face of fluctuation of rates on fuel. As per that revision, diesel would have been increased by Rs 4.21. Petrol will be costlier by Rs 4.54.
