Fill it, shut it, forget it: Petrol price down Rs 2/ltr, diesel by 50 p

August 31, 2015 18:57

Just in: Fuel price cut: Petrol down by Rs 2 per litre, diesel by 50 p per litre with effect from midnight. India's economic growth slowed by more than expected in the quarter to June, according to data released on Monday that will worry Prime Minister Narendra Modi and prompt more urgent calls from his aides for interest rate cuts.

Gross domestic product expanded an annual 7 percent rate in the April-June quarter, government figures showed. That was slower than provisional growth of 7.5 percent in the previous quarter.

Analysts polled by Reuters expected growth for the quarter to come in at 7.4 percent, but a weak showing from the services sector acted as a drag on Asia's third-largest economy.
