Why petrol and diesel prices are rising?


Petrol-diesel prices are rising due to the fast-growing demand for crude oil around the world. The production of crude oil is falling short in comparison to its demand. Recently, OPEC countries met and demanded to boost output by just 400,000 barrels per day. Thus, crude oil is becoming costlier around the world. And its impact on the price of petrol-diesel in the domestic market is evident and inevitable. Brent crude was trading at $82.38 per barrel.
