NEW DELHI : With Brent crude oil futures remaining above $40 a barrel mark and fuel demand picking up in India, oil marketing companies today increased the price of petrol and diesel for the third consecutive day. Amid the spread of coronavirus, retailers had stopped the daily practice of reviewing rates based on market conditions for more than 80 days since March 16.
Petrol price was hiked by 54 paise a litre today while diesel is costlier by 58 paise a litre. In just three days, the price of both the fuels has gone up by more than ₹1.7 a litre each.
