Unlock-1 is going on in India amid Corona crisis. In this period, oil companies are continuously increasing the prices of petrol and diesel. On Saturday, the price of petrol increased by Rs 0.59 to Rs 75.16 per liter in Delhi. At the same time, the price of diesel increased by Rs 0.58 and it is at Rs 73.39 per liter.

Diesel became expensive by Rs 4 in a week

Apart from Delhi, petrol in Kolkata was priced at Rs 77.05 on Saturday, while diesel has been priced at Rs 69.23 per liter. In Mumbai, petrol is priced at Rs 82.10 per liter, while diesel is priced at Rs 72.03 per liter. Apart from this, the price of diesel in Chennai has been increased to Rs 71.64 per liter and the price of petrol to Rs 78.99 per liter. Let us know that petrol has become expensive by Rs 3.90 in just one week. At the same time, if we talk about diesel, then its price has increased by four rupees.

What is the reason for the increase

There are many reasons for the increase in the price of petrol and diesel. Actually, the demand for crude oil has increased due to the lockdown opening in many countries. In this situation, crude oil prices have started to strengthen and the rupee depreciation continues against the dollar.

At the same time, petroleum companies in India have started putting their burden on the customers while protecting themselves from losses. Petrol and diesel prices may rise further in the next few days, as oil companies will try to make up for their losses. Let us know that transportation was completely stalled in the midst of lockdown, so the sale of petrol and diesel was almost at a standstill. And due to this, the oil companies have suffered a lot.
