Fuel prices across India were revised upward again on Saturday, with petrol and diesel becoming costlier by up to 91 paise per litre. The latest revision marks the third increase in retail fuel prices within 10 days, amid continued pressure from rising global crude oil rates and geopolitical tensions in West Asia.
State-run oil marketing companies increased petrol prices by 87 paise per litre and diesel prices by 91 paise per litre in several cities. The repeated hikes have added to concerns over rising transportation and household expenses.
