This follows the last fortnightly price review, during which petrol was increased by Rs. 8.36, taking it to Rs. 266.79, and HSD was hiked by Rs. 10.39, reaching Rs. 272.98.
Earlier, in the mid-June price revision, the government had also raised prices—petrol by Rs. 4.80 and diesel by Rs. 7.95 per liter.
These frequent price adjustments are raising concerns among the public and business community, as they are expected to contribute to higher inflation, increased transportation costs, and a heavier financial burden on households.
