Petrol and diesel prices remained stagnant for the 24th consecutive day. After the Assembly elections in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur – which concluded in March – fuel prices across the country observed a steep rise.

A litre of diesel is sold for Rs 96.67 in Delhi and for Rs 104.77 in Mumbai.
