NEW DELHI : On a day when crude oil rates spiked as much as 4% following US air strikes in Iraq, state-run fuel retailers increased the price of petrol by 10 paise and that of diesel by 15 paise a litre. Since fuel prices are directly dependent on international crude rates, it is likely that petrol and diesel prices will jump sharply in the next few days over increasing tensions in the oil-rich Middle East countries.
In New Delhi, a litre of petrol today costs ₹75.35 and diesel ₹68.25. In Mumbai, a litre of petrol costs ₹80.94 a litre and diesel ₹71.56 a litre. If you are in Bengaluru, you pay ₹77.87 for petrol and ₹70.52 for diesel. In Chennai, petrol costs ₹78.28 for petrol and ₹72.12 for diesel. Those in Hyderabad will have to pay ₹80.12 for petrol and ₹74.42 for diesel. In Gurgaon, you pay ₹74.72 for petrol and ₹67.20 for diesel.
