Pune fuel price hike sees diesel cross Rs95/litre mark; petrol at Rs105.21/litre
On July 4, the price of fuel in Pune increased again, with a litre of diesel now at ₹95.07.
Petrol increased by 0.33 paise per litre, to reach ₹105.21. Diesel increased by ₹0.19 to reach ₹95.07 per litre. The continuous hikes in fuel prices have caused discontent amongst transporters and commuters.
It has also become a political issue in the city with Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) conducting a protest against the hikes on Saturday.
Over the last 40 days, fuel prices have increased by ₹5 per litre – diesel crossed ₹90 on May 25 and petrol breached the ₹100 mark on May 31. Transport associations have become aggressive and warned of protests in the coming weeks if the prices are not controlled.
