Days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged Indians to reduce fuel consumption amid global uncertainty, petrol and diesel prices were increased by ₹3 per litre across the country on Friday, adding pressure on household budgets.
In Delhi, petrol now costs ₹97.77 per litre, up from ₹94.77, while diesel rose to ₹90.67 per litre from ₹87.67.
The hike was reflected across other major cities as well. In Mumbai, petrol prices climbed to ₹106.68 per litre and diesel to ₹93.14. Chennai saw petrol rise to ₹103.67 and diesel to ₹95.25, while in Kolkata, petrol now costs ₹108.74 and diesel ₹95.13 per litre.
According to PTI, this is the first fuel price revision in nearly 11 weeks after public sector oil marketing companies held rates steady despite mounting pressure from global crude prices.
The increase comes as global oil prices have surged by over 50 percent amid the ongoing conflict in West Asia, which has disrupted global energy markets and raised concerns over supply routes.
