Petrol And Diesel Prices Today, November 5: How Much Does Fuel Cost In Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru?

(MENAFN- Live Mint) Petrol and diesel prices today, November 5: Petrol and diesel prices remained largely steady across major cities today, with the Centre eliminating the additional excise duty applicable to petrol exports.

According to a Finance Ministry notification, under the revised structure effective from October 31, the export duty on petrol was reduced to ₹ 0 per litre from ₹2.50 per litre.

The cost of fuel varies across states and cities due to local taxes (Value Added Tax or VAT), freight charges, and other localised factors.

Brent crude futures dived nearly 9% overnight, falling below $100 a barrel. Brent has dropped by about 20% so far this week. If sustained through Friday's close, it would mark the largest weekly drop in oil prices since a week in April 2020, when US crude briefly fell into negative territory.

At $93.50, oil was testing overnight lows in the Asian morning as traders bet that US President Donald Trump, facing a Democratic Congress and hurt by high energy prices driven by the Middle East conflict, would be less likely to escalate the war with Iran.

Trump acknowledged on Wednesday that the war played a role in Republicans' defeat, and his vice president, JD Vance, was even more blunt on X:“The reason we lost is the war.”

A resolution could push oil prices lower still, alleviating inflation pressure and reducing the likelihood of future interest rate hikes.

The yield on benchmark 10-year US Treasuries was down 6 basis points (bps) overnight and by a further basis point in early Tokyo trade to 4.87%, while 2-year yields, which track short-term rate expectations, fell about 2 bps to 4.56%.
