New Delhi: Petrol and diesel prices were raised for the second day in a row on Wednesday as state-owned fuel retailers resumed daily rate revision after a more than two-week long hiatus during assembly elections in states like West Bengal.
Petrol price was increased by 19 paise per litre and diesel by 21 paise a litre, according to a price notification of state-owned fuel retailers.
Petrol in the national capital now costs Rs 90.74 a litre and diesel comes for Rs 81.12 per litre.
Rates have been increased across the country and vary from state to state depending on the local incidence of taxation (VAT).
In two days, more than half of the 67 paise a litre reduction in petrol and 74 paise per litre cut in diesel prices effected between March 24 and April 15, has been wiped out.
