Petrol and diesel prices have been cut by Rs 2 per litre, excluding local levies, with effect from midnight tonight pan-India.
Earlier in the evening, petrol and diesel prices were hiked in the national capital with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government ordering an increase in VAT rates.
The raise, effective from midnight today, is the first hike in Value Added Tax effected by AAP government since capturing power in Delhi.
“The VAT rate on petrol has been increased from 20% to 25% and on diesel from 12.5% to 16.6%, thereby resulting increase in the price of petrol by Rs 2.78 per litre (approx.) and in the price of diesel Rs 1.83 per litre,” government said in a statement.
After the increase in retail prices of petrol and diesel in Delhi, the retail price for petrol will be Rs 69.43 per ltr. (approx.) and the same for diesel will be Rs 52.07 per ltr.(approx.).
According to government, on the basis of the decision taken in the meeting of Finance Ministers of northern states on May 21, 2015 for bringing uniformity in the tax rates, it has decided to increase VAT rate on diesel and petrol.
A senior government official said that after this increase in the rate of VAT, the retail price of diesel in Punjab, Haryana and Delhi will be almost the same.
The government has issued the notification in this respect today.
The Delhi Assembly had on June 30 cleared VAT Amednment Bill, tabled by Arvind Kejriwal’s government, which allowed it to increase VAT up to 30 per cent on 11 goods including petroleum products, tobacco and aerated drinks. (Financial Express)
