Petrol and diesel prices had been on a freeze since November 4 last year, which was broken on March 22, following the crude oil going upwards in the wake of the Russian military operations in Ukraine.
Prices are set to be raised further given the sharp jump in crude oil prices in the international markets.
Hike in fuel price always has a ripple effect on the prices of essential commodities and vegetables as transportation charges increase.
