What is the reason for the increase
There are many reasons for the increase in the price of petrol and diesel. Actually, the demand for crude oil has increased due to the lockdown opening in many countries. In this situation, crude oil prices have started to strengthen and the rupee depreciation continues against the dollar.
At the same time, petroleum companies in India have started putting their burden on the customers while protecting themselves from losses. Petrol and diesel prices may rise further in the next few days, as oil companies will try to make up for their losses. Let us know that transportation was completely stalled in the midst of lockdown, so the sale of petrol and diesel was almost at a standstill. And due to this, the oil companies have suffered a lot.
