The government on Friday slightly raised the price of petrol by Re1 per litre and that of high-speed diesel (HSD) by Rs7 for the next fortnight.

A press release from the Finance Division said the new prices were decided after Ogra reviewed and adjusted consumer prices for petroleum products given “recent fluctuations in the international oil market”.

The new petrol price is Rs257.13 and that of HSD is Rs267.95.

Any changes in the prices of light diesel oil and kerosene oil were not mentioned.

Informed sources had earlier said the ex-depot petrol price was estimated to go up by Rs2-3........
