State run fuel retailers, Indian Oil Corp (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corp (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corp (HPCL) have hiked prices of petrol and diesel by 36 paise/litre and 87 paise/litre respectively. The new rates announced by the oil marketing companies (OMCs) will be effective from midnight of November 15/16 2015. Following the hike, the petrol now in the National capital cost Rs. 61.06/litre as against Rs 60.70 a litre currently, while diesel price will come at Rs. 46.80/litre as compared to Rs 45.93 per litre currently.

This is the first hike in petrol price in five months and the third in diesel rates since October. Petrol price was last revised upwards on July 16, when the fuel was made more expensive by 32 paise/litre. Since then, its prices have been cut on four occasions. Diesel rates had been hiked by 95 paise on October 16 and by 50 paise on October 1. They were on September 1 reduced by 50 paise a litre.
