One paisa cut on petrol prices; Netizens say that’s salt on wounds, not relief
In a statement issued by IOCL said, “The reduction was supposed to be 1 paisa but due to a clerical error the price prevalent on May 25 was communicated as today’s price,” a senior official of Indian Oil Corp (IOC) explained.

India woke up to the news of a petrol price cut on Wednesday. But the joy was short-lived as it turned out that the actual reduction in price was just 1 paisa and the 60 paise cut was just an error on the Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) website. In a statement, IOCL said, “The reduction was supposed to be 1 paisa but due to a clerical error the price prevalent on May 25 was communicated as today’s price.” The current price of petrol is at Rs 78.42/litre in Delhi and Rs 86.23/litre in Mumbai while diesel stood at Rs 69.30/litre in Delhi and Rs 73.78/litre in Mumbai.
Netizens took to social media to react to this ‘cut in petrol prices’. “Arre! We must fill up petrol today – price reduced by a WHOPPING ONE PAISA per LITRE in Delhi! Hurry!”, tweeted a user. “Under pressure govt cut Petrol & Diesel price One paisa per litre. Wow !!! big achievement to Government”, said another.
Here are some of the reactions.

As a gesture of goodwill & as proof that the Modi govt is not oblivious to the hardships of the common man due to high fuel prices, prices for both, Petrol & Diesel, have been reduced by ONE WHOLE PAISA each.
