The process of increase started from June 7
Petrol diesel prices are increasing daily from 7 June. Earlier, companies had not made any change in the price of petrol and diesel for about 12 weeks. After June 7, on the basis of crude oil prices in the international market, the prices of petrol diesel in India are increasing.
After 10 consecutive days of increase, the price of petrol and diesel has increased by more than Rs 5 per liter.
Why companies are increasing the prices of petrol and diesel?
At the same time, in the international oil market, there is a period of decline in the prices of crude oil. Today, the price of Brent crude oil was $ 39.65 per barrel in the international market. Due to Corona virus infection, crude oil prices have remained stable for almost 3 months worldwide.
Crude oil prices have started strengthening in many countries as soon as the lockdown opens and the rupee continues to fall against the dollar. The reason for this is that petroleum companies in India have started putting their burden on the customers while protecting themselves from losses. Experts believe that petrol and diesel prices may increase further in the next months, as oil companies will try to make up for their losses. Petrol-diesel sales were almost at a standstill due to transportation being completely stalled in the midst of lockdown, and oil companies have suffered a lot due to this.
It is important to note that international prices of crude oil and rupee-dollar exchange rates are very important in deciding the price of petrol and diesel. Recently due to rising crude oil prices and rupee depreciation against the dollar, oil companies started raising petrol and diesel rates as soon as the lockdown opened.
