Diesel costs dearer in Delhi as prices surge past Rs 80 per litre for the first time
The price of diesel in Delhi crossed Rs 80 a litre for the first time on Thursday after the 19th consecutive rate hike since June 7, even as international oil prices plunged by 5.44%.
The petrol price surge, which was paused for a day on Wednesday after the 17th hike in a row, also saw a jump of 16 paise a litre on Thursday. Petrol is now selling in Delhi’s pumps at Rs 79.92 a litre and diesel at Rs 80.02.
Retail rates of auto fuels differ from city to city across the country due to variations in local levies.
