Petrol price to go up by Rs.1.40 per litre
New Delhi, Mar 1 Petrol prices will go up by Rs.1.40 per litre, excluding taxes, from midnight Friday due to the depreciating rupee and a sharp increase in crude oil prices in global markets, the government-run oil marketing firms said Friday.
Petrol price was today hiked by Rs. 2 a litre, the second increase in rates this month, as devaluation of rupee against US dollar made imports costlier.
