Petrol & Diesel Price Hike: Petrol Nears ₹110/L, Diesel ₹95/L In Gwalior As Oil Prices Surge Globally

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Just like Bhopal and Indore, petrol and diesel prices have also increased in Madhya Pradesh’s Gwalior district from Friday.

Following the hike, petrol in Gwalior is now priced at ₹109.74 per litre, while diesel has reached ₹94.93 per litre. Just a day earlier, petrol was being sold at ₹106.45 and diesel at ₹91.83 per litre.

This is one of the biggest fuel price hikes seen after nearly 2 years, increasing concerns among common people. However, there has been no change in CNG prices so far.

Experts say the rising tensions and war-like situation involving Israel, the US and Iran have affected the supply of crude oil in the global market. 

Difficulties in the movement of oil-carrying ships have pushed crude oil prices higher, impacting fuel rates in India and Madhya Pradesh as well.

After the fuel price hike, travel and transport operators have also started increasing fares. 

Experts fear that prices of daily-use goods may also rise in the coming days due to higher transportation costs.
