Petrol, diesel price up 2nd day in row
Petrol and diesel prices were raised for the second day in a row on Wednesday as state-owned fuel retailers resumed daily rate revision after a more than two-week long hiatus during assembly elections in states like West Bengal.
Petrol price was increased by 19 paise per litre and diesel by 21 paise a litre, according to a price notification of state-owned fuel retailers.
Petrol in the national capital now costs Rs 90.74 a litre and diesel comes for Rs 81.12 per litre.
Rates have been increased across the country and vary from state to state depending on the local incidence of taxation (VAT).
