Big relief! Jharkhand govt cuts petrol price by ₹25, but only for 2-wheelers

Dec. 29: Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on December 29 announced a reduction of Rs 25 per litre petrol to motorcycles and scooter riders. The new rate will come into effect from January 26, 2022. In order to give relief to consumers, who were battered by skyrocketing fuel prices, the central government earlier had cut the price of petrol by Rs 5 and that of diesel by Rs 10. Following this, many states and union territories cut local sales tax or value-added tax (VAT) to give further relief to consumers.

“The price of petrol and diesel is increasing continuously, due to which the poor and middle-class people are the most affected. Therefore the government will give a relief of Rs 25 per litre on petrol for two-wheelers from the state level, its benefit will start from January 26, 2022,” Chief Minister Hemant Soren tweeted.

पेट्रोल-डीजल के मूल्य में लगातार इजाफा हो रहा है, इससे गरीब और मध्यम वर्ग के लोग सबसे अधिक प्रभावित हैं। इसलिए सरकार ने राज्य स्तर से दुपहिया वाहन के लिए पेट्रोल पर प्रति लीटर ₹25 की राहत देगी, इसका लाभ 26 जनवरी 2022 से मिलना शुरू होगा:- श्री @HemantSorenJMM pic.twitter.com/MsinoGS60Y
