This is the price in India
Talking about India, due to the lockdown here the prices of petrol and diesel are stable for many days. The movement in the country is at a standstill and the demand for petrol and diesel is still negligible.
According to the IOCL website, the price of one liter of petrol in Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai today is 69.59, 73.30, 76.31 and 72.28 respectively. Talking about diesel, its prices in Delhi, Kolkata Mumbai and Chennai are 62.29, 65.62, 66.21 and 65.71 respectively.
India’s dependence on Brent crude supply
It is known that India’s dependence is on the supply of Brent crude, not on WTI. Therefore, the reduction in the price of American crude will not have much effect on India. That is, even if the price of WTI becomes cheaper in the international market, you will have to pay more for the price of petrol.
