    What's the story

    Petrol and diesel prices in the country touched their highest levels today mainly due to dramatic fall in the Rupee and a sharp rise in crude oil rates.

    Petrol price in Delhi rose to a record Rs. 79.15/liter and diesel climbed to a fresh-high of Rs. 71.15, according to price notification of state-owned fuel retailers.

    This follows a 31p/liter hike in petrol prices today.

    Crossing records

    Petrol rates have breached the previous high of Rs. 78.43/liter hit on May 28. On that day, the rate in Mumbai was Rs. 86.24/liter.

    A liter of petrol in Mumbai costs Rs. 86.56 today.

    Diesel rates today were hiked by 39 paise/liter, the steepest increase since the daily revision in prices was introduced in mid-June 2017.

    Information

    Officials explain reasons behind petrol, diesel prices hike

    Officials said the spike is on account of exchange rate falling to Rs. 71 a USD, depreciating by Rs. 2.5 in a month. Also, crude oil has gained $7/barrel in a fortnight, driven by fears that the US sanctions on Iran will likely contract supplies.

    CNG, PNG

    Rupee woes have also hit CNG, PNG

    The appreciation of USD against the Rupee has also pushed up rates for CNG as well as piped natural gas (PNG) since the price of gas procured by Delhi distributors is mostly Dollar-denominated.

    Indraprastha Gas Ltd, which retails gas in Delhi, yesterday raised the prices of CNG by 63 paise/kg and by Rs. 1.11 per standard cubic meter for PNG supplied to households.
