As soon as people woke up this morning, inflation hit them again. Yes, within 10 days, oil companies have once again raised the prices of petrol and diesel. Petrol prices have increased by 87 paise per liter and diesel by 91 paise per liter.
Prices increased for the third time in 10 days.
According to media reports, this is the third increase in fuel prices in 10 days. Four days ago, on May 19, the prices of petrol and diesel were increased by an average of 90 paise per liter. Whereas, on May 15 also, the prices of petrol and diesel were increased by Rs 3 per liter. The main reason for this increase is the fluctuations in the prices of crude oil in the international market. Before the war between Iran and America started, the prices of crude oil were $70, which have now increased to more than $100 per barrel.
