Latest hike pushes petrol price to over Rs 110 a litre; Bengaluru to pay Rs 106.17: Check city-wise prices

The government on Friday increased petrol and diesel prices across the nation amid rising global crude oil prices and supply crunch owing to the ongoing West Asia crisis.

The hike pushed petrol prices from Rs 3 to Rs 3.46 per litre in some cities, while diesel prices went up by Rs 3 to Rs 3.56, depending on the region.

The revamp comes as state-run oil companies faced severe losses due to increase in output cost. This is the first major price hike as petrol and diesel prices were largely stable since May 2022 despite volatility in international crude oil markets.

In Delhi, petrol price rose by Rs 3 to Rs 97.77 per litre, while diesel became costlier by Rs 3 to Rs 90.67 per litre. Bengaluru residents will have to shell out Rs 3.21 more for ever litre of petrol, while diesel will cost Rs 3.11 extra at Rs 106.17 and Rs 94.10, respectively.

Mumbai residents will now pay Rs 106.64 per litre for petrol, up Rs 3.10, while diesel price climbed Rs 3.11 to Rs 93.14 per litre.
