The prices of petrol and diesel have been slashed to the levels that prevailed nearly two months ago in Andhra Pradesh, following the reduction in the excise duty by the Central government. However, the State government has not announced any price cut so far.
On March 22, the price of petrol was ₹110.79 per litre while the same for diesel was ₹96.87 in Vijayawada. A week later, the prices increased to ₹116.04 and ₹101.89 respectively.
