Petrol-Diesel Price Today on June 10: Fuel prices remained stable in the country on Wednesday, June 10. Earlier on Monday, May 25, oil marketing companies (OMCs) had increased the prices of both petrol and diesel by more than Rs 2.50 per liter. It is noteworthy that due to the overall increase in prices since May 15, the cost of fuel has increased by approximately Rs 7.5 per liter.
Now the price will increase after May 2022
Fuel prices in India are at their highest ever level since May 2022. Before this, prices had remained almost stable for more than two years, except for a cut of Rs 2 per liter in March 2024. This is because the latest increase was the fourth in less than two weeks. This increase was made due to the delay in passing on the price changes to customers after the huge surge in global crude oil prices due to the war in West Asia.
The war in Western Asia disrupted global energy supplies, including that of India. Due to this conflict that has been going on for the last three months, 40% of India’s crude oil imports, 65% of natural gas and 90% of LPG supplies – which came from Gulf region countries – were disrupted.
