Petrol, diesel prices hiked again, the fourth such hike in five days

Fuel continues to pinch. On Saturday, petrol and diesel prices were hiked by 80 paise a litre each, the fourth increase in five days as oil firms passed on to consumers the spike in cost of raw material.

Petrol in Delhi will now cost Rs 98.61 per litre as against Rs 97.81 previously while diesel rates have gone up from Rs 89.07 per litre to Rs 89.87, according to a price notification of state fuel retailers.
