New prices would be effective from March 15, 2024, 6 am. Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri<\/a> said in a post on X that by reducing prices of petrol and diesel by Rs 2 per litre, Prime Minister Narendra Modi<\/a> “has again proved that the welfare and convenience of his family of crores of Indians has always been his aim”. Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas said in its post that reduction in petrol and diesel prices will boost consumer spending “and reduce operating costs for over 58 lakh heavy goods vehicles running on diesel, 6 crore cars and 27 crore two-wheelers”. It said reduced petrol and diesel prices will benefit the citizens through more disposable income, boost for tourism and travel industries and control over inflation.
