By MYBRANDBOOK
As the fuel prices has increased for the 20th day, petrol crosses Rs 80 a litre mark in Delhi. The opposition party has took as an opportunity to surround the Modi government on this important issue, where the netizens of India has surrounded with the crisis. It is for the first time, diesel prices have gone higher than the petrol price at 79.88 rupees per litre in Delhi.
Petrol and diesel prices in India rose for the twentieth day in a row by making the retail fuel costlier by nearly Rs 5 per litre since June 7. Petrol price rose by 48 paise per litre while diesel price rose by 23 paise per litre on June 15. After the surge in prices, petrol price in Delhi is now at Rs 76.26 per litre and diesel price is at Rs 74.26 a litre, according to IOCL. On Friday, the petrol was retailing at Rs 80.13 a litre in Delhi and diesel price was Rs 80.19 a litre.
The fuel price is rising due to the additional duty that the government had imposed on petrol and diesel, to offset the revenue loss caused by the pandemic by taking advantage of low crude prices.
