• Consumers face sharp rises in transportation and fuel expenses.

Petrol and diesel prices were increased again on Monday by state-run oil marketing companies, marking the fourth revision in less than two weeks as firms continued passing on the burden of rising international crude oil prices to consumers.

With the latest hike, cumulative increases in fuel prices have now reached nearly Rs 7.5 per litre since daily revisions resumed on May 15 following a prolonged pause.

In Delhi, petrol prices rose by Rs 2.61 per litre, taking the retail rate to Rs 102.12 from Rs 99.51. Diesel prices climbed by Rs 2.71 per litre to Rs 95.20, up from Rs 92.49, according to industry sources.

The continued increase in fuel prices comes amid elevated global crude oil rates and depreciation in the rupee, both of which have raised import costs for oil marketing companies.
