After Tuesday's revision, petrol will retail at Rs 64.72 per litre in Delhi and diesel will be sold at Rs 52.61 per litre. Currently, consumers have to shell out Rs 64.58 for a litre of petrol and Rs 52.51 for diesel in the national capital.

Fuel prices were last revised on September 30, when petrol was made more expensive by 28 paise per litre while diesel was made cheaper by 6 paise per litre (excluding state levies).
Petrol and diesel prices are deregulated in India, which means they are linked to market rates.
