Sources said that the final decision on the prices of petroleum products would be taken by the Prime Minister and the levy and taxes would be revised in consultation with the Finance Ministry.
According to sources, changes in the prices of petroleum products will depend on levies and GST.
It should be noted that at present the levy on petrol is Rs 5.62 per liter while the levy on diesel is Rs 5.14 per liter.
