Fuel prices across the country have been revised once again, becoming costlier by Rs 7.5 per litre since the Middle East crisis began. Early Monday, petrol prices were hiked by Rs 2.61 per litre, while diesel prices rose by Rs 2.71, marking the fourth increase in just ten days. CNG commuters across the Delhi-NCR region are also set to feel the impact, with Compressed Natural Gas prices increased by Rs 2 per kg on Tuesday. The latest revision comes on top of the overall Rs 4 hike announced through three earlier revisions in recent days.
These consecutive increases are now raising concerns over their ripple effect on household budgets, inflation, and daily commuting costs, forcing consumers to recalculate monthly expenses yet again.
