Petrol and diesel prices remained unchanged for the sixth consecutive day on Friday, after touching new record highs on February 27. This is against the global trend where crude oil price has increased per barrel.

In Pune, petrol and diesel remained at Rs 97.21 per litre and Rs 86.90 per litre respectively.

After OPEC+ grouping of major oil-producing countries on Thursday decided to continue with the production cut, the price of crude oil increased in various exchanges.

Crude oil prices rose by Rs 28 to Rs 4,735 per barrel on Friday.

On the Multi Commodity Exchange, crude oil for March delivery traded higher by Rs 28, or 0.59 per cent, at Rs 4,735 per barrel in 6,075 lots.

Analysts said raising of bets by participants kept crude oil prices higher in futures trade.
