On December 31, diesel and petrol prices reached their lowest level of 2018. In order to protect its revenues from auto fuel taxes, the Karnataka government on Friday revised the rate of sales tax on petrol and diesel to 32 per cent and 21 per cent from 28.75 per cent and 17.73 per cent, respectively.

The highest price was recorded in October, however, soon after rates started to nosedive. The dip in prices comes after the United States softened its stand on Iran's sanctions and allowed eight countries to continue importing oil from Iran temporarily. These countries are India, China, South Korea, Japan, Turkey, Italy, the United Arab Emirates, and Taiwan.

Further, Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Dharmendra Pradhan had earlier said that the hike in the prices of petrol and diesel in the country was because of the depreciation in the value of the Indian Rupee against the US dollar.&nbsp;

The <a href="http://www.wionews.com/business-economy/rupee-bonds-surge-on-lower-oil-prices-rbi-bond-buy-announcement-177227">fuel prices</a> in the country have witnessed a relentless hike since the past few months in the country, burning a hole in the commuter's pocket.

In a bid to ease the crunch caused by soaring fuel prices, finance minister Arun Jaitley on October 2 announced a reduction of Rs 2.50 per litre on both petrol and diesel prices.

Petrol price has been cut by more than Rs 5.35 per litre and diesel by Rs 3.71 in the last 30 days in Mumbai.

As per the daily dynamic pricing regime, domestic fuel prices depend on international fuel prices on a 15-day average, besides the value of the rupee.

The downward revision also comes on the back of multiple factors such as lower international crude oil cost and a recovery in the rupee against the US dollar.

Global oil prices recorded 12 straight days of losses on Tuesday and the steepest one-day loss in more than three years to recover by one per cent on Thursday. Brent crude settled up 65 cents, or 1 per cent, at $66.12 a barrel, after hitting a session high of $67.63.

Government cuts jet fuel tax to 11% from 14% 'in public interest'

Days after the Central government provided relief to citizens by announcing a <a href="http://www.wionews.com/business-economy/centre-has-decided-to-cut-fuel-prices-by-rs-25-with-immediate-effect-state">reduction of fuel prices</a> across the country, fuel prices continued to rise on Sunday.

The price of petrol in Mumbai increased by 0.14 paise to Rs 87.29 per litre, while the price of diesel rose by 0.31 paise to Rs 77.06 per litre.

In Delhi, prices of petrol and diesel were hiked by 0.14 paise and 0.29 paise. Petrol now costs Rs 81.82 a litre while diesel is priced at Rs 73.53, according to the&nbsp;Indian Oil Corporation Limited.

Consumers received some relief from skyrocketing fuel prices when the central government cut excise duty on fuel by Rs 2.50 per litre on Thursday. Modi government also asked state governments to slash taxes by an equal margin. While several BJP-ruled states obliged, others refused by saying they had already cut VAT on fuel.&nbsp;

There is also a raging debate over the most-recent price cut with BJP president Amit Shah saying that it reflects how this government is sensitive to the needs of the people. Congress countered by saying that the reduced prices are like 'putting band-aid after inflicting a thousand cuts.'

Petrol prices up again, selling at Rs 87.29 a litre in Mumbai

Shares in India's state-owned oil marketing companies slumped more than 20 per cent to multi-year lows on Friday, a day after the government announced a cut in fuel prices that is expected to hit the state and the oil marketers.

The price cut sparked fears of the country going back toward the regulated regime where the prices of diesel and petrol were controlled by the government.

Petrol prices were regulated until 2012, while diesel prices remained so until 2014.

The government on Thursday announced a 2.50 rupees-per-litre cut in the prices of gasoline and diesel to reduce the burden on the Indian masses from a sharp rise in crude oil prices and a weak local currency that have pushed prices at fuel pumps to all-time highs.

The price cut involved a reduction in excise duty of 1.50 per litre by the government and a further cut of 1 rupee per litre by the state-owned oil marketing companies - Indian Oil Corp Ltd, Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd and Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd.

"The current decision could have an impact on the margins of the OMCs although one has to wait and see what course the government takes with a further fall in rupee and rise in crude prices," said Gagan Dixit, a senior oil and gas analyst at Elara Capital in Mumbai.

The price cut also hurts private fuel marketers - Nayara Energy owned by Russian oil giant Rosneft which owns close to 5,000 fuel outlets in the country and Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance Industries Ltd which owns 1,325 outlets as they would also be forced to sell fuel at a loss to compete with the state-owned companies.

India`s Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) oil and gas index has fallen by over 15 per cent by 0523 GMT.

In fuel and power segment, inflation cooled to 9.01 per cent, against 9.99 per cent in August. Fuel inflation has remained high in the past two months as petrol and diesel prices continued to rule high relentlessly on global crude oil rates, while power tariffs shot through the roof on lower domestic production. Pulses continued to witness deflation at 24.26 per cent, likewise in potato at 46.52 per cent and wheat at 1.71 per cent. The final print of July WPI inflation remained unchanged from provisional estimate of 1.88 per cent. Data released earlier this week showed retail inflation at 3.28 per cent in September, unchanged from August, even as vegetable and cereal prices softened. Besides industrial production grew at a nine-month high of 4.3 per cent in August, mainly on account of robust performance of mining and power sectors coupled with higher capital goods output. Earlier this month, the Reserve Bank kept benchmark interest rate unchanged on fears of rising inflation while lowering growth forecast to 6.7 per cent for the current fiscal. It also raised its inflation forecast to a range of 4.2 to 4.6 per cent during the remainder of current fiscal as against 4 to 4.5 per cent previously.
