Rs. 3 hike in Petrol and Diesel Prices

 

Even before the people could recover from the budget shock, petroleum companies also have delivered yet another shock to them by sharply increasing the petrol and diesel prices today. Petrol price will be increased by Rs. 3.18 and diesel price by Rs.3.09 per liter. These new rates will come into effect from Saturday mid-night. Hence, the price of petrol and diesel will become Rs. 68 and 56 per liter simultaneously. Earlier, petrol and diesel prices were slightly increased by NPs 82 and 61 per liter simultaneously in the beginning of February month. But, this time the petroleum companies have sharply increased the prices without any hint.
