Accordingly, the new petrol and diesel prices stood at Rs283.38 and Rs303.18 per litre. 

As per notification issued by the Ministry of Finance, the new prices are effective from October 16, 2023.

On October 12, 2023, MG Link News published an estimation of fuel prices considering the above-mentioned factors wherein the latest ex-refinery calculation for petroleum showed a substantial reduction of Rs36 per litre.

In the previous fortnight, the caretaker government on September 30, slashed the petrol and HSD prices by Rs8 and Rs11 per litre to Rs323.38 and Rs318.18 per litre, respectively.
