"Petrol and diesel prices are on the verge of breaking records, touching around Rs 85".
Petrol and diesel prices skyrocket. There was a long lockdown in the country due to the Corona virus and all traffic was stopped. As a result, the business of petrol and diesel has been closed for a long time and the traders have had to face a big blow in this business.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has made it clear that the country's economic system has begun to recover from the outbreak of the deadly corona virus, but that all inflationary pressures will not go away at this time.
Then in this situation the price of petrol per liter touched Rs 85 which has raised a concern among the common people. Then along with the price of this petrol, the price of diesel is also increasing, its price is also increasing like the price of petrol.
These two petroleum products, especially diesel, have become so expensive that transportation costs have skyrocketed. Today, when I went to refuel my car at the Indian Oil Pump in Kolkata, I saw that petrol was being sold at Rs 84.90 per liter, which was 27 paise more than the previous day.
In the case of diesel, it has also increased by 29 paise to Rs 77.18. Now the people concerned say that the price of petrol in October 2018 was 85.80 which is a record figure. In the same month of the year, the price of diesel was 77.54 which.
As a result, the only question that has been created is whether this record will be broken by these two petroleum products ?! The price of petrol was right till the 19th of the previous month but after the 20th the price of petrol has been increasing.
From the 20th to the 6th of this month, the price of petrol at Kolkata's petrol pumps has gone up by Rs 2.31 to around Rs 85. In the same way, the price of diesel also goes up on the same day in the same month.
Since then, the price of petroleum products has risen by Rs 3.19. In this situation, experts say, the general public may have to cope with the rise in prices of these two petroleum products for some time to come.
