<h1>Excise Duty Cut: Petrol Drops Rs 8.69/Litre, Diesel Rs 7.05/Litre in Delhi; Ujjwala Scheme Gets Rs 200 Subsidy.</h1> The government has reduced excise duty on petrol by Rs 8 per litre and diesel by Rs 6 per litre, resulting in a price cut of Rs 8.69 per litre for petrol and Rs 7.05 per litre for diesel in Delhi. This move aims to alleviate the financial burden on consumers amid high fuel prices and inflation. The price reduction varies across states due to local taxes. Additionally, a Rs 200 subsidy per cylinder will be provided to beneficiaries of the Ujjwala scheme to mitigate the impact of rising cooking gas prices. The excise duty cut will cost the government Rs 6,100 crore.
