In Delhi, petrol jumped 28 paise to Rs 91.27 a liter while diesel jumped 31 paise to Rs 81.73 a liter. Petrol costs 90 paise, but diesel costs Rs 1 per liter in four days. Let me tell you that in the last two months there have been several assembly elections in the country. Therefore, there has been no increase in petrol and diesel prices even after crude oil was expensive last month. In February, crude oil prices were $ 61 a barrel, down from March. Landed at 64.73. It is currently selling for $ 69. In such a situation, the price of petrol diesel may increase further in the coming days. Petrol and diesel prices may increase by 2 to 3 rupees.
Petrol and diesel rates will thus be increased
Once excise duty, dealer commission and other items are added to the price of petrol and diesel, its price will double. If the central government excludes excise duty and state governments’ VAT, diesel and petrol rates may be around Rs 27 per liter, but neither the central nor the state government can remove the tax at any cost. Because the bulk of the revenue comes from here. This money leads to growth.
Prices are set every morning
In fact, in addition to foreign exchange rates, petrol and diesel prices fluctuate daily depending on the crude price in the international market. Oil market companies set petrol and diesel prices every day after checking prices. Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum revise petrol and diesel rates at 6am every morning.
