Petrol and diesel prices have risen again across the country. Petrol and diesel prices have risen by more than ₹2.50, doubling the burden of inflation on the general public. Petroleum companies have increased petrol and diesel prices for the fourth time in 10 days. This began on May 15th, when petrol prices were increased by ₹3. Additionally, on May 25th, petrol prices were increased by more than ₹2.50. Due to the rise in international crude oil prices and escalating tensions in the Middle East, oil marketing companies are continuously increasing fuel prices. Following this new increase, petrol prices in the national capital, Delhi, have reached ₹102.12 per liter and diesel ₹95.20 per liter. In Mumbai, petrol has risen ₹111.21 per liter and diesel ₹97.83 per liter. In Chennai, the price of petrol has increased to ₹107.77 per liter and diesel to ₹99.55 per liter. Following the increase in petrol and diesel prices, new fuel prices have now been implemented in Uttarakhand as well. In Dehradun, petrol prices have reached ₹100.50 per liter and diesel ₹95.90 per liter. Even in hilly districts like Bageshwar, Chamoli, Tehri, and Uttarkashi, petrol prices have crossed the ₹100 per liter mark. The continuous increase in diesel and petrol prices is directly impacting transportation and logistics. The rising prices have also increased the concerns of the common people, leading to the rise in prices of daily necessities, vegetables, and other consumer goods.
