| Mumbai | Rs 84.00 |
Petrol and diesel also get more expensive
Fuel price pressure is not just on CNG. Petrol and diesel have also seen sharp increases in the last two weeks.
On Monday, petrol was increased by ₹2.61 per litre, while diesel went up by ₹2.71 per litre. This is the fourth hike in under two weeks. In Delhi, petrol now costs ₹102.12 per litre, up from ₹99.51, while diesel has risen to ₹95.20 per litre from ₹92.49. The total increase in petrol and diesel since 15 May is now close to ₹7.5 per litre, taking fuel prices to their highest levels since May 2022.
Why fuel prices are rising?
The continued rise in fuel prices comes amid global crude oil movements and supply disruptions. Prices have been under pressure following military conflict in the Middle East, especially around Iran. Tensions in the region have affected key shipping routes, including the Strait of Hormuz, through which a large share of global oil and gas passes.
The repeated fuel hikes are now directly affecting daily life. Higher CNG, petrol and diesel prices are expected to increase transport costs, which can also push up prices of goods and services in the coming days.
