On Friday, diesel prices in India were raised by ₹3 per litre, the first increase in over four years. This change results in diesel now costing ₹90.67 in Delhi, ₹93.14 in Mumbai, ₹95.13 in Kolkata, and nearly ₹99 in cities like Thiruvananthapuram. The increase significantly impacts consumers, with the cost to fill a 40-litre tank in Delhi reaching approximately ₹3,627 for small diesel cars, while larger SUVs can cost up to ₹5,440. In Mumbai, filling a small diesel car costs about ₹3,726, while larger vehicles incur costs of around ₹5,588. Cities like Chandigarh maintain lower prices at ₹85.25 per litre, making it more affordable for diesel vehicle owners. The price hike is a response to sustained pressure from high global crude prices, particularly due to ongoing tensions in West Asia. Despite a slight easing in international crude prices, state-run oil companies have been reporting significant losses on fuel sales. The latest increase aims to mitigate these losses without triggering major inflation concerns.
