Petrol-diesel rates
On Wednesday, May 20, new rates of petrol and diesel have been released across the country. Oil companies update the latest prices at 6 am every day. Today, the relief news for the people is that there has been no change in the prices of petrol and diesel. That means, at present, oil prices remain stable.
However, due to increase in prices twice in the last one week, the pockets of common people were definitely affected. In such a situation, it has become necessary for the drivers to check the latest rates of their city before leaving home. If we talk about big cities, petrol in Delhi remains at Rs 98.64 and diesel at Rs 91.58 per litre. Whereas in cities like Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Noida and Gurugram, the old rates are applicable. That means today neither petrol has become expensive nor has there been any increase in the price of diesel.

| Delhi | ₹98.64 | ₹91.58 |

Prices increased by Rs 4 a week
In the last one week, the prices of petrol and diesel have increased by about Rs 4 per liter. First of all, on May 15, oil companies had increased the price by about Rs 3 per liter. After this, on May 19, the price was again increased by about 90 paise per liter. In fact, the prices of crude oil were increasing in the international market for a long time, but despite this, the government oil companies were keeping the rates stable in the domestic market. Due to this, financial pressure on companies increased. Finally, in view of the increasing losses, companies made petrol and diesel expensive twice last week. The government says that the loss has been reduced to some extent by increasing prices, but the pressure on oil companies still remains.
