Petrol prices hiked by Rs. 4 a litre; diesel up Rs. 2
New Delhi, July 1 (ANI): The Centre on Wednesday announced a rise in the price of petrol and diesel by Rs. 4 and Rs.2 per litre, respectively.
The Petroleum Minister, Murli Deora, here today, made the announcement and said that the new rates will come into effect from Wednesday mid-night.
The Government was constrained to revise the rates since long time, following heavy losses being borne by the petrol companies due to unstable crude oil prices in international market.
