On Saturday, petrol and diesel prices across India saw significant increases, with petrol prices rising by 87 paise to 91 paise per litre. This change has resulted in a total increase of nearly ₹5 per litre in less than ten days. The price hikes are largely driven by escalating international crude oil prices, tighter refining margins, and a depreciating rupee, which have collectively heightened import costs for state-owned oil companies. In Delhi, petrol now costs ₹99.51 per litre, while diesel is priced at ₹92.49 per litre. Kolkata experienced a steeper rise, with petrol reaching ₹110.64 and diesel at ₹97.02 per litre. In Mumbai, the prices have climbed to ₹108.49 for petrol and ₹95.02 for diesel. Chennai's petrol is now ₹105.31, and diesel is at ₹96.98 per litre. Other cities like Lucknow and Jaipur also saw increases, with Lucknow's petrol nearing the ₹100 mark at ₹99.28 per litre. This trend of rising fuel prices is expected to continue as global market conditions remain volatile.
