On Wednesday, the citizens can heave a sigh of relief when it comes to the rate of petrol and diesel (fuel prices today) in India. The fuel rates today are stable in all metros, including at the country’s capital, New Delhi and other cities like Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai.
State-owned oil companies Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL), Bharat Petroleum (BPCL) and Indian Oil (IOC) had on Sunday hiked diesel prices by 13 to 15 paise. After this increase, the price of diesel in Delhi had reached a record level.
Following this, the Punjab Petrol Pump Dealers’ Association had announced the closure of all petrol pumps across Punjab today (i.e. Wednesday, July 29). The decision had been taken as Punjab has more tankers than Haryana, due to which petrol pump dealers and owners say that they have to bear a lot of damage.
With diesel prices rising, everyday items are now getting costlier as well. The price of fruits and vegetables is set to jump as freight charges rise. Prices of FMCG commodities may also increase.
