CM Bhajan Lal Sharma, the Chief Minister of Rajasthan, announced on Thursday that his government has resolved the anomaly of different petrol and diesel rates in different cities of the state. In districts where the fuel prices were higher, significant reductions were made, while in districts with lower rates, the price cuts were less substantial.
Additionally, the state government reduced VAT by 2 percent, in line with the 2 percent reduction in petrol and diesel prices by the central government. As a result, petrol and diesel became available at cheaper rates in Rajasthan from Friday morning. However, this move will lead to a decrease in the state government’s income by approximately Rs 1,500 crore.
In an effort to create uniformity in fuel prices across the state, CM Bhajan Lal Sharma took the decision to address the disparity in rates.
This move is expected to benefit the consumers, especially in districts where the fuel prices were previously higher. The reduction in VAT by 2 percent further contributed to the decrease in prices, making fuel more affordable for the people of Rajasthan.
