Petrol and diesel prices increased again in India on Friday, giving another shock to common people and vehicle owners. Oil marketing companies raised petrol prices by around 87 paise per litre and diesel prices by nearly 91 paise per litre in major cities. This is the third fuel price hike in just a few days.
Petrol and diesel prices increased again in India mainly because global crude oil prices continue to rise due to tensions in West Asia. Reports say oil companies are facing heavy losses and are slowly increasing fuel rates to recover costs.
In Delhi, petrol now costs around ₹99.51 per litre, while diesel is priced at ₹92.49 per litre. Prices are even higher in cities like Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata. Experts warn that rising fuel prices may increase transport charges and daily living expenses across the country.
