The caretaker government on Friday night pushed through another hike in the prices of petrol by Rs26.02 per litre and high-speed diesel (HSD) by Rs17.34 per litre.
The increase brings the price of petrol to Rs331.38 per litre while HSD is Rs329.18 per litre, the Ministry of Finance said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) after midnight.
It added that the decision was taken owing to the increasing trend of petroleum prices in the international market.
No revision was specified in the rates of kerosene or light diesel oil.
