In the previous fortnightly review, the government had reduced the price of HSD by Rs. 3 per litre, fixing it at Rs. 269.99. At that time, the petrol price was kept unchanged at Rs. 264.61. Meanwhile, the price of superior kerosene oil was cut by Rs. 1.46 to Rs. 176.81 per litre, and light diesel oil was reduced by Rs. 2.40 to Rs. 159.76 per litre.
