There has been a huge increase in the prices of petrol and diesel once again on Monday. This latest increase is not trivial, but it has directly spoiled the arithmetic of your pocket. While petrol has crossed the Rs 100 mark in the capital Delhi, it has crossed Rs 111 in the financial capital Mumbai. Let us know where the oil prices have reached in your city after this latest increase.
Inflation hits for the fourth time
The trend of increase in fuel prices does not seem to be stopping at the moment. According to the latest rates released by oil companies on May 25, the price of petrol has increased significantly by Rs 2.61 per liter. At the same time, diesel is also not lagging behind, its price has also increased by Rs 2.71 per liter. If we consider the last 11 days, petrol and diesel have become costlier by about Rs 7.50 per liter in the entire country. Just before this, there was a change in prices on May 23, when petrol became costlier by 87 paise and diesel by 91 paise per litre.
Petrol broke records in metros
If we talk about the major metros of the country, the prices of petrol are creating new records. Now you will have to pay Rs 102.12 for one liter petrol in Delhi. But the biggest impact has been seen in Kolkata, where the price of petrol has reached the highest among major metros at Rs 113.51 per liter. The people of Mumbai have also not got any relief, the new rate there has become Rs 111.21. In Chennai also it is being sold at Rs 107.77 per litre. This surge will have a direct impact on the travel budget of the middle class.
Expensive diesel will cost heavily on commercial sector
Diesel prices are directly linked to freight traffic in the economy. After the latest increase, diesel in Delhi has become Rs 95.20 per liter. In Kolkata it has reached very close to scoring a century i.e. Rs 99.82. On the commercial front, diesel will now be available at Rs 97.83 per liter in Mumbai, an important city, while in Chennai its price has been fixed at Rs 99.55 per liter. This increase in diesel prices will definitely increase the supply chain costs, the effect of which can also be seen on the prices of everyday goods.
