Petrol and Diesel Prices Hiked by Rs 3 Per Litre Amid Rising Global Energy Costs

Oil companies have announced an increase of Rs 3 per litre in petrol and diesel prices, affecting fuel rates across major metro cities. While this rise impacts daily commuters and transport costs, it is only about one-tenth of the hike needed to fully offset the sharp global energy price surge since the West Asia conflict began. The move reflects the delicate balance between domestic fuel pricing and international market pressures, leaving households and businesses to brace for slightly higher fuel bills.
