Fuel Prices Hiked 6 Times So Far This Year, Petrol Rate In Delhi Crosses Rs 70/Litre

Petrol prices were hiked by 37-40 paise per litre and diesel rates by 49-53 paise per litre on Monday. That marked the fifth consecutive hike in domestic fuel prices, and the sixth overall so far this year. In Delhi, the price of petrol crossed the Rs 70 a litre mark for the first time in 2019. The upwards price revision comes on the back of a recovery in crude oil prices in anticipation of tightening supply ahead, say analysts. Currently, oil marketing companies in the country revise the domestic prices of petrol and diesel on a daily basis, in line with the movement in international crude oil and rupee-dollar forex rates..table.tble_wrap4 { border-top: solid 1px #ccc; border-left: solid 1px #ccc; xborder-right: solid 1px #ccc; font-size: 16px; } table.tble_wrap4 th { background-color: #f5f5f5; padding: 5px 10px; border-bottom: solid 1px #ccc; border-right: solid 1px #ccc; } table.tble_wrap4 td { border-bottom: solid 1px #ccc; border-right: solid 1px #ccc; padding: 5px 10px; line-height: 18px; } /*Media Query start*/ @media only screen and (max-width: 760px), (min-device-width: 768px) and (max-device-width: 1024px) { /* Force table to not be like tables anymore */ table.tble_wrap4, thead, tbody, th, td, tr { font-size: 14px; } } /* Smartphones (portrait and landscape) ----------- */ @media only screen and (min-device-width : 320px) and (max-device-width : 480px) { body { padding: 0; margin: 0; } table.tble_wrap4, thead, tbody, th, td, tr { font-size: 14px; } table.tble_wrap4 th { padding: 4px; } table.tble_wrap4 td { padding: 4px; } } /*Media Query END*/ .
