In

82.26 on Wednesday. With a 27 paise hike, diesel is priced at Rs

Chennai and Rs 84.19 in Kolkata.

Last
week, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had announced a cut of Rs 2.50
per litre on both petrol and diesel prices.
Most
states, including Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh,
Tripura, Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Assam and Jharkhand,
had also announced a cut in taxes.
On
Thursday, Meghalaya became the latest state to announce a reduction
in petrol and diesel prices. The state government has reduced fuel
prices by Rs 2.50 per litre.
However,
the relief may be short-lived as fuel prices are slowly going back to
the previous levels. Since the Centre announced the cut, petrol
and diesel prices have gone up everyday, except for Wednesday
when petrol prices were kept unchanged.
