AGARTALA, Sep 17 (TIWN): Petrol prices in Agartala have been turning more volatile, as prices of crude oil have been showing a firm trend.

It is important to check today’s petrol price in Agartala (Rs.80.47), a more hike than yesterday’s Rs. 80.33.

The rupee has also moved lower against the dollar, which has made petrol prices in Agartala more expensive than before.

It is hoped that the government can reduce excise duties, so as to enable rates to become more cheaper in the coming days.

Already in non-BJP states state govts are reducing taxes on fuel.
