With the hike in prices, petrol is being sold at 90.19 per litre in the national capital while diesel is being sold at 80.60 per litre.

Oil prices have been steadily rising in the international market which has affected the prices of oil and have pushed the prices of petrol, diesel in India to a record high.

Earlier this month, during the budget speech, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had announced the imposition of Agriculture Infrastructure and Development Cess (AIDC) of 2.5 per litre on petrol and 4 per litre on diesel. This has brought up the prices of the two fuels significantly. Over 56% of the retail selling price of diesel and about 61% of petrol constitute central and state taxes.
