Kerala vehicles might head towards petrol pumps in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu from Saturday as petrol and diesel will become costlier in Kerala as the state budget proposal to impose a cess of Rs. 2 per litre is coming into effect.
Many petrol pumps close to Karnataka and Tamil Nadu borders in Kerala, especially those in places like Kasargod, are worried about a possible fall in sales.
Compared to Karnataka, diesel will be costlier by over Rs. 10 per litre and petrol Rs. 8 per litre in Kerala, say petroleum dealers.
