Fuel prices not to be increased in India
The Indian Government Sunday (31) decided not to raise the prices of petrol and diesel, The Hindu newspaper reported.
The report said: The decision, announced by the Union Petroleum Minister, Mani Shanker Aiyar, in Delhi on Sunday apparently follows the Left parties`ED suggestion that the Government wait for the outcome of the November 2 United States Presidential Election. International crude oil prices are expected to ease after the election.
After his Saturday meeting with the Prime Minister, Aiyar had said that the revised prices would be announced after more consultations.
