Petrol, Diesel Prices hiked Today 1 Sep 2013

The state-owned oil marketing companies on Saturday hiked petrol prices by 2.35 per litre (excluding state levies), and retail diesel prices by 50 paise per litre (excluding local taxes) as the depreciation of the Indian rupee made fuel imports costlier. There could be more pain ahead for consumers as the government could steeply increase the prices of diesel and even domestic LPG after the Parliament session comes to an end next week to cut losses on their sale. Petrol prices in Delhi will go up by 2.83 to 74.10 per litre, and diesel prices by 57 paise to 51.97 per litre.
