NEW DELHI: The oil marketing companies on Sunday hiked the price of diesel by Rs 25 per litre for bulk users such as state bus fleets and malls and airports. The hike is in line with a near 40% rise in international oil prices. However, there are no changes in retail prices, which means common people will not have any direct impact on the hike.
The price of diesel sold to bulk users, after the hike is Rs 122.05 per litre in Mumbai. This was Rs 94.14 a litre price of the same fuel sold at petrol pumps. In Delhi, diesel costs Rs 86.67 a litre at the petrol pump, but for bulk or industrial users, it is priced at about Rs 115.
