After days of anticipation, the Central government has increased the retail selling prices of petrol and diesel across the country, marking the first fuel price hike for retail consumers in the last four years. The revised rates came into effect from Friday, May 15. Along with petrol and diesel, the price of CNG has also been increased by ₹2 per kilogram.
In Nagpur, petrol is now being sold at ₹107.16 per litre, while diesel has reached ₹93.70 per litre. The hike has sparked mixed reactions among commuters and vehicle owners in the city, with many expressing concern over the rising cost of daily transportation and essential commodities.
Citizens said the increase is likely to impact household budgets, auto fares, transport costs and prices of goods in the coming days. Commercial vehicle operators and daily commuters have particularly voiced concern over the growing fuel burden.
The revised fuel rates are expected to have a cascading effect on inflation and transportation expenses across the region.
