In Mumbai, the petrol price increased to Rs 95.75 a litre, and diesel was rated at Rs 86.72. The relentless rise in prices has been scrutinized by the opposition parties, including Congress that has necessitated an immediate reduction in taxes to reduce the hardship on the common man. Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan had told Parliament that the government is not estimating a discount in excise charge to reduce rates from their record highs. Retail petrol prices have increased by Rs 19.7 per liter since mid-March 2020 after the government raised taxes by a record perimeter to clean up profits arising from a decline in international oil prices. Diesel prices have progressed up by Rs 17.41.
