In Kolkata, petrol is retailing at Rs 77.93, down from Rs 84.65, taking the overall cut in the last 35 days to Rs 6.72. The prices were sourced from IOc website.
The price cut comes on the back of dropping global crude oil prices. Oil prices dipped on Thursday after U.S. crude inventories increased to their highest level since December 2017 amid concerns of an emerging global glut, although an expected supply cut by producer cartel OPEC prevented further drops. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures, were at $53.38 per barrel at 0141 GMT, 25 cents, or 0.5 percent below their last settlement, Reuters reported.
