At the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude oil for delivery in August contracts shed Rs 20, or 0.73 per cent, to Rs 2,738 per barrel in 2,159 lots.
The oil for delivery in September contracts also fell Rs 18, or 0.64 per cent, to trade at Rs 2,811 per barrel in 185 lots.

Brent crude for September shed 2 cents to USD 49.20 a barrel at the New York Mercantile Exchange.
