From October 16, petrol may be increased by Rs7 per litre and high-speed diesel (HSD) by Rs10 per litre.
We have worked out this huge increase in the price of both products keeping the first 10 days in view. The data shows that the prices of refined products have gone up from $79 to $91 per barrel from October 1,” sources in the industrial sector told The News.
Usually, the POL prices are worked out based on 13 days worth of data, and in the next three days, the bullish trend in oil prices will continue.
It increased the MS price by Rs5 per litre to Rs123.30 per litre and HSD by Rs5.01 per litre to Rs 120.04. From October 1, the government also approved a hike in petrol prices by Rs4 per litre to Rs127.30 per litre and in HSD by Rs2 to Rs122.05 per litre.
This would be the third consecutive hike in POL prices if the government further increases the POL prices from October 16 as has been worked out.
