Once again, metro cities and Indian states reported a hike in fuel prices.
On Wednesday, the 6th of October, petrol and diesel prices increased across the nation. Two wheelers and daily commuters are worrying about the constant rise in prices, left with no option but to use public transport for their daily routes.
This is the 5th time in the past two weeks that the petrol and diesel prices increased in India. Cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Kolkata are places where prices crossed Rs. 100 mark. The major reason behind the rise in prices is to balance retail prices in line with global developments due to the rise in crude oil prices.
