Petrol & Diesel Price Cut: In a major relief for vehicle owners across India, the government has finally announced a Petrol and Diesel price cut after the implementation of the new GST 2025 reforms. This move aims to control inflation and make transportation more affordable for the common man.
The new tax structure has simplified fuel pricing, reducing multiple state taxes and excise duties under a single GST bracket. As a result, fuel prices have dropped significantly across major cities starting this week.
Big Reduction in Fuel Prices
Under the New GST System 2025, petrol and diesel have now been brought under a lower tax slab. On average, petrol prices have fallen by ₹5–₹7 per litre, while diesel rates are down by ₹4–₹6 per litre nationwide.
This change is expected to bring massive relief to transporters, daily commuters, and industries dependent on fuel.
For example, in Delhi, the petrol price has come down to ₹93.60/litre and diesel to ₹86.40/litre, while in Mumbai, petrol now costs around ₹98.20/litre.
Impact of GST on Fuel Economy
Before GST inclusion, fuel prices varied widely between states due to local VAT and additional cess.
The New GST 2025 model has replaced these taxes with a uniform rate, ensuring transparency and stability in pricing.
Experts believe that this tax reform will help reduce logistical costs and lower product prices across sectors, boosting the economy.
Public & Industry Reaction
The announcement has been welcomed nationwide. Transport unions and cab drivers have praised the move, saying it will cut operational costs by nearly 10–12%.
Meanwhile, consumers are happy to see long-awaited fuel price stability after months of fluctuation. Analysts predict that the government may adjust rates quarterly under GST to maintain balance with global crude prices.
