Petrol and diesel prices are up again after three days of stabilization. Petrol costs 35 paise and diesel 15 paise higher. But for the first time since April 15, diesel prices have been slashed by 15 paise per liter on Monday. Crude oil prices fell more than 2% in the international market. Due to this increase, petrol has been priced at Rs 11.14 per liter since May 4 and diesel Rs 9.14 per liter. Oil prices have been under fire since a day after the results of the five assembly elections were announced. Petrol in Delhi is now priced at Rs 101.54 per liter and diesel at Rs 89.87. The retail prices of both fuels are different due to differences in state taxes and local charges in other cities.

International oil prices have been showing volatility since Monday last week, when it hit a high of 77.16 a barrel. Brent crude fell 2.26% to $ 74.76 a barrel on Wednesday, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) fell 2.82%. Reached 73.13. The international oil market softened further on Thursday as Brent fell 0.79% to close the day’s trading at 1 74.17. International oil prices affect the pump rates of auto fuels. This is because India imports more than 80% of crude oil.
