New Delhi: In wake of the fall in the price of crude oil in the international market, oil marketing companies on Thursday slashed petrol and diesel prices for the second consecutive day. Petrol prices in Delhi have come down by 21 paise and diesel by 20 paise. After this, the price of petrol in Delhi has reached Rs 90.78 per litre and the price of diesel has become Rs 81.1 per litre. Petrol and diesel prices received a cut for the second day in a row. In the last two days, petrol in Delhi has become cheaper by 39 paise and diesel by 37 paise. Earlier on Wednesday, there was a change in the prices of petrol and diesel after 25 days. The last change in the prices of petrol and diesel was on February 27, when the price of petrol in Delhi increased by 24 paise and diesel became expensive by 15 paise.

• Delhi: Rs 81.10
• Mumbai: Rs 88.20
• Kolkata: Rs 83.98
• Chennai: Rs 86.10
