While prices see a minor fluctuation in some cities, in metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai or Chennai, the prices have remained largely stable. The prices recorded a major decrease in May when the central government reduced the excise duty on gasoline by Rs 8 per litre and on diesel by Rs 6 per litre to combat the spiralling inflation. However, since then, there has not been a major change in fuel prices.
