Chennai fuel prices steady on 9 October

Petrol and diesel prices in Chennai were unchanged on 9 October, with petrol at Rs 107.76 a litre and diesel at Rs 99.55, dtnext.in reports. The city's rates have stayed flat since 6 October, after a marginal dip from Rs 107.77 earlier in the week.

Nationally, rates were steady across major cities, Livemint says, even as Brent crude traded around $103.50 a barrel and the Indian crude basket at $120.34. The pause follows cumulative hikes of nearly Rs 7.5 a litre since 15 May, which dtnext linked to surging global crude prices after strikes on Iran and shipping disruptions.
