Petrol, diesel price to drop further: Minister

Union Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday said that prices of petrol and diesel will drop further in the coming days.

Pradhan said the Modi government was keen to protect the interest of consumers.

He said that from July 1, the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) will increase production and this would help in bringing down the prices.
