After Monday’s rate revision, petrol price in Dimapur stood at Rs.86.93 per litre while in the state capital petrol price increased to Rs.87.83 per litre.
Currently, fuel prices vary in different parts of the country due to factors such as price of crude oil, foreign exchange rate and local taxes. State-run oil corporations, account for the majority of fuel outlets in the country, and review the rates of petrol and diesel on a daily basis.
