Petrol, diesel prices hiked again, 5th time in 6 days
NEW DELHI: Petrol and diesel prices were hiked yet again on Sunday- the fifth increase in six days.
Petrol will now be dearer by 50 paise a litre and diesel by 55 paise a litre.
In Delhi, petrol will now cost Rs 99.11 per litre while diesel rates have gone up to Rs 90.42, according to a price notification of state fuel retailers.
Prices had been on a freeze since November 4 ahead of the assembly elections in five states.
But four increments of 80 paise each, and the latest hike on Sunday means petrol will now cost Rs 3.70 more and diesel Rs 3.75 more per litre as compared to prices six days back.
