Tension increased before the end of the year petrol became expensive in these cities

Petrol-Diesel Rate: Even before the end of the year, the increase in the price of petrol and diesel has increased the worries of the common man. On Thursday, the day after Christmas, government oil companies increased fuel prices in many cities. However, prices remained stable in major metros like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. The slight increase in crude oil prices in the global market has been cited as the reason for this increase.

Most impact in Patna

The highest increase in the prices of petrol and diesel has been recorded in Patna, the capital of Bihar. Petrol became costlier by 53 paise to Rs 106.11 per liter, while the price of diesel increased by 51 paise to Rs 92.92 per liter.

In Gautam Buddha Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh, petrol became costlier by 7 paise to Rs 95.05 per liter and diesel by 6 paise to Rs 88.19 per liter. At the same time, in Ghaziabad, petrol became costlier by 26 paise to Rs 94.70 per liter and diesel by 30 paise to Rs 87.81 per liter.

Prices stable in Delhi-Mumbai

Prices remained stable in major metros like Delhi and Mumbai. Petrol is being sold at Rs 96.65 and diesel at Rs 89.82 per liter in Delhi. Petrol is available at Rs 106.31 and diesel at Rs 94.27 per liter in Mumbai.

Petrol is being sold at Rs 102.63 and diesel at Rs 94.24 per liter in Chennai, while petrol is being sold at Rs 106.03 and diesel at Rs 92.76 per liter in Kolkata.

Effect of global market

In the last 24 hours, the price of Brent crude reached $ 73.58 per barrel and the rate of WTI reached $ 70.29 per barrel. This slight jump in the global market is directly affecting the fuel prices in India.

Prices change every day

Petrol and diesel prices are updated every day at 6 am. After adding excise duty, dealer commission and VAT, their prices reach the consumers. Even small changes in crude oil prices in the international market have a big impact on Indian consumers.

Impact on the common man

This increase in oil prices will put a direct burden on the pocket of the common man. The cost of transportation and essential commodities is likely to increase. This situation can become more challenging for farmers and middle class families.

What will happen next?

It will be important to see in which direction the oil prices go in the global market. If the price of crude oil continues to rise, then fuel prices in India may be further affected. The possibility of any relief from the government and oil companies will also be monitored.

For common consumers, this is the time to handle the budget and consider alternative measures. The government is expected to take steps to provide relief in this situation.
