Petrol and diesel prices witnessed a fresh spike on Friday as oil marketing companies raised rates by Rs 3 per litre. The revision comes in response to rising global energy prices which prompted companies to partially transfer the burden to consumers.
Following the latest adjustment, petrol in the national capital now stands at Rs 97.77 per litre. Diesel prices have also moved up, reaching Rs 90.67 per litre. The surge signals growing pressure on retail fuel markets amid international crude volatility due to West Asia tensions.
Revised rates in key metros
Consumers across the four major metro cities are also feeling the pinch. Petrol prices now range from Rs 103.67 in Chennai to Rs 108.74 in Kolkata. Diesel rates have crossed Rs 95 in some cities.
