Check new fuel rates in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, other cities as petrol, diesel prices hiked

Petrol and diesel prices have been hiked by state-run oil marketing companies. The hike comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged citizens to reduce fuel consumption and adopt work-from-home practices amid rising energy concerns. Petrol prices were raised by 3 per litre, with the hike varying across cities due to differences in local taxes and levies. Oil companies had held prices steady for 11 weeks despite rising input costs, but were eventually forced to pass on part of the burden.
