The All India Motor & Goods Transport Association (AIMGTA) on Saturday urged the Central Government to reduce petrol and diesel prices, citing a significant decline in international crude oil prices from approximately $104 per barrel to around $90 per barrel.
In a press statement, the association said the benefit of the fall in global crude prices had not been passed on to domestic consumers, transporters, or the general public. Petrol in Delhi is currently priced at approximately Rs 102.12 per litre and diesel at Rs 95.20 per litre, with prices in several other states even higher, it said.
