Petrol, diesel prices hiked by 80 paise

Petrol and diesel prices were on Sunday again hiked by 80 paise a litre each, taking the total increase in rates in less than two weeks to ₹8 per litre.

Petrol in Delhi will now cost ₹103.41 per litre as against ₹102.61 previously, while diesel rates have gone up from ₹93.87 per litre to ₹94.67, according to a price notification of state fuel retailers.

Rates have been increased across the country and vary from state to state depending upon the incidence of local taxation.

This is the 11th increase in prices since the ending of a four-and-half-month-long hiatus in rate revision on March 22.

In all, petrol prices have gone up by ₹8 per litre.
