Independence Day brought good news for the masses as petrol and diesel prices dropped by a significant margin. The government announced a massive reduction in fuel prices. As per the announcement, the price of petrol has been reduced by Rs 8.74 per litre, and the new price is Rs 260.96 per litre, whereas the price of high-speed diesel has been reduced by Rs 6.70 per litre with the new price of Rs 266.07 per litre.

This move will give relief to financially burdened citizens during these tough economic times as fuel and electricity are the key forces of inflation in the country.
