Petrol, diesel prices increased by 90 paise, second hike in 5 days

Fuel prices have risen again across major Indian cities, marking the second increase within a week after oil companies revised retail rates on Monday.

In New Delhi, petrol climbed by 87 paise to Rs 98.64 per litre from Rs 97.77, while diesel went up by 91 paise to Rs 91.58 from Rs 90.67.

The latest revision of prices follows a Rs 3-per-litre hike announced just days earlier, adding to the burden on consumers already facing high transport and household costs.
