Petrol, Diesel price hike hits new records
The price of Petrol and Diesel is on hike continously.
After the fresh hike, petrol is retailing at Rs 95.85 per litre in Delhi and diesel costs Rs 86.75 per litre. In Mumbai, petrol price has crossed Rs 102 per litre and diesel is retailing at Rs 94 per litre.
The latest round of fuel price hike has been so severe that the highest retail price of petrol in the country has gone up to Rs 106 per litre and that of diesel is just over Rs 99 per litre.
Data suggests that India’s oil demand has sharply fallen due to the Covid-19 situation, but higher fuel prices may worsen the situation. Although the pandemic has primarily impacted demand, experts are certain that rising prices have also forced people to limit fuel purchases.
