Petrol and diesel prices were increased by 60 paise per litre for the second consecutive day on Monday.
The hike ended an 83-day hiatus in rate revision by state-owned oil companies which have reverted to a daily price revision, reports PTI.
After the revision, petrol will now cost Rs 72.46 per litre as against Rs 71,86 on Sunday, while diesel price has gone up to Rs 70.59 per litre from Rs 69.99, according to a price notification of state oil marketing companies.
Oil companies had raised fuel prices by the same amount on Sunday as well.
