The Ministry of Finance in the notification maintained that the decision was taken owing to the increasing trend of petroleum prices in the international market.
Meanwhile, no revision in the rates of kerosene and light diesel oil was specified.
Sources a day earlier claimed that the prices of petrol and HSD — could go up by about Rs10-14 and Rs14-16 per litre, respectively, for the next fortnight, while kerosene price was also expected to get costlier by about Rs10 per litre, based on the existing tax rates and import parity price.
