Diesel price hiked, petrol remains unchanged: Check the latest rates

New Delhi: The price of diesel has been hiked again after a fresh revision by oil marketing companies (OMCs) on Wednesday while the price of petrol remains unchanged.

There has been no change in petrol price since June 29.

The price of diesel has been hiked by 13 paise on July 15 and it is now available for Rs 81.18 per litre in Delhi. Meanwhile, petrol price in the national capital remains unchanged at Rs 80.43 per litre.

While there has been no hike in petrol rates for the past few weeks, it still remains on the higher side with most cities and town paying over Rs 80 for a litre of petrol.

Diesel, too, is retailing at a much higher than usual and it is more than the price of petrol in the national capital.

Many protests were held in June by opposition leaders from the Congress against the non-stop hike in petrol and diesel price. However, there has been no reduction in the prices ever since OMCs restarted revision of fuel prices in June.
