Premium petrol prices hiked by ₹2 in India, normal petrol rate unchanged

Prices of BPCL’s Speed, HPCL’s Power, and IOCL’s XP95 have been increased by ₹2.09 to ₹2.35 per litre, ANI news agency reported.

However, there is no change in the price of regular petrol at present.

Confirming the development, Sujata Sharma, joint secretary, ministry of petroleum and natural gas, said in the inter-ministerial press briefing on Friday that petrol and diesel prices are deregulated and decided by oil marketing companies

“There is no change in normal petrol price, it remains unchanged for the public…only premium category, it is hardly 2-4 per cent of entire petrol,” Sharma said when asked if rates of normal petrol and diesel will increase in the near future.
