Fuel prices cut by Rs 2 per litre

New Delhi: Petrol and diesel prices were cut by Rs 2 per litre each on Friday.

Petrol in the national capital will now cost Rs 94.72 a litre as compared to Rs 96.72 per litre previously while the price of diesel will be Rs 87.62 as opposed to Rs 89.62, a price notification of oil PSUs said.
