The government is preparing to impose another steep increase in petroleum prices, dealing a fresh blow to consumers already struggling with soaring inflation. Industry sources suggest petrol prices could rise by Rs11 per litre, with diesel potentially jumping by Rs15 per litre in the coming hours.
If approved, the new rates – expected to be announced late tonight – would push petrol and diesel prices beyond Rs270 per litre. The revised pricing structure will remain in effect for the next fortnight.
