Petrol, diesel prices rise sharply again | Weekend Special

Across the country as well, the petrol prices increase within the 25-30 paisa per litre range, while diesel between 30-35 paisa per litre -- depending on the level of local taxes on the two petroleum products.

The increase on Friday has followed the firming of global crude oil prices that have remained close to $61 a barrel mark. The pump prices of petrol and diesel have now reached new highs across the country.
