Auto stocks ran out of fuel after the Congress-led UPA government recent announced Rs 7.50 hike - the steepest to date - in petrol prices, thereby adding worries of the sector already surrounded with uncertainty about future sales and rising raw material costs on account of depreciating rupee. Since the government keeps increasing petrol prices while maintaining near status quo on the prices of other fuels, the difference between petrol and diesel prices has gone up to Rs 25 per litre. Following the hike, a litre of petrol will now cost Rs78.16 in Mumbai, Rs73.14 in Delhi, Rs77.53 in Kolkata and Rs 77.05 in Chennai. However, there could be more bad news in the offing as the government may announce a slash in subsidies on diesel, kerosene and LPG by Friday.
