The government has raised the price of petrol by Rs2.73 per litre, bringing it to Rs275.62 per litre for the upcoming fortnight.
Additionally, the cost of high-speed diesel has seen an uptick, rising by Rs8.37 per litre to reach Rs287.33 per litre, according to an official notification.
These revised prices, recommended by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), have come into effect as of midnight on February 16 and are slated to persist until February 29.
The surge in petrol and high-speed diesel prices aligns with expectations following the adjustment in the exchange rate.
