Petrol Dealers Association starts 48 hrs strike in the state.
Rajasthan Petrol Dealers Association (RPDA) went on 48 hours strike from Sunday morning at 6 am, pressing for its demand to reduce VAT rate and increase dealers' commission in the state.
State-run Indian Oil Corp (IOC) has reduced price of petrol by Rs.2.16 per litre and that of diesel by Rs.2.10 a litre excluding state levies.
According to IOC, the current level of international prices of petrol, diesel and the Indian rupee-US dollar exchange rate warranted a decrease in selling price.
"The movement of prices in the international oil market and INR-USD exchange rate shall continue to be monitored closely and developing trends of the market will be reflected in future price changes," the IOC said in a statement late on Monday.
