The Petrol price has remained unchanged, according to the official notification.
The price of High Speed Diesel has been increased by Rs11.30.
The new price of HSD is Rs268.38.
This decision was notified in a press release issued by the Petroleum Division.
Earlier, the government kept petrol and high-speed diesel prices unchanged at Rs253.17 per litre and Rs257.08 per litre.
Petrol is primarily used in private transport, small vehicles, rickshaws, and two-wheelers, and directly impacts the budgets of the middle and lower-middle classes.
Meanwhile, most of the transport sector runs on HSD. Its price is considered inflationary, as it is mostly used in heavy transport vehicles, trains, and agricultural engines such as trucks, buses, tractors, tube wells, and threshers, and particularly adds to the prices of vegetables and other eatables.
