Fuel prices remained unchanged for a third day in four metro cities on Thursday, with petrol selling at 76.25/litre and diesel at Rs 67.55 per litre in Mumbai.
On Monday, petrol prices rose by 9-10 paise per litre while diesel became costlier by 7-8 paise per litre in Mumbai, Kolkata, New Delhi and Chennai.
As per the country's dynamic pricing mechanism, the domestic fuel prices depend upon international fuel prices on a 15-day average and the value of the rupee.
Retail pump price is calculated after adding central excise duty, dealers commission and value-added tax (VAT) to the base price.
The slide in domestic fuel prices comes following a recent decline in global crude due to oversupply concerns. Oil prices slid just over 4 percent overnight, bringing Brent’s losses since its October top to 37 percent.
