Petrol and diesel prices have been hiked for the fourth time this week. But prices were stable during the state assembly elections of five states, including West Bengal, last month. The eight-fold increase in petrol costs Rs 1.95 per liter and diesel costs Rs 2.22 per liter. In March last year, when the government increased the excise duty on petrol and diesel to the highest level ever, the petrol price was Rs 22.75 per liter and the diesel price was Rs 20.66 per liter.
