The prices of petrol and diesel were increased on Tuesday, in the first such hike this year. The prices of these fuels have gone up by 80 paise each per litre.
On Tuesday, a litre of petrol was retailing at Rs 96.21 at the Rajdhani Service Station in Delhi, while diesel is being sold at Rs 87.47 per litre.
The increase comes in the month of March, the last month of the current financial year. Apart from fuel, prices of other commodities and products too have gone up.
