The government has announced an increase in the price of high-speed diesel (HSD) by Rs5 per litre, citing fluctuations in the international market. However, the price of petrol will remain steady at Rs247.03 per litre for the next two weeks, effective from midnight tonight.
In a notification issued on Tuesday night, the Finance Division confirmed the price of HSD would rise from Rs246.29 to Rs251.29 per litre.
No changes were mentioned regarding the prices of light diesel oil or kerosene.
This adjustment follows a pattern of periodic reviews of fuel prices in response to global market dynamics.
