The new rates from the oil companies see the rise in petrol prices by -- 19 paisa in Delhi, 13 paisa in Mumbai and Kolkata and 14 paisa in Chennai. Diesel prices have increased by -- 16 paisa in Delhi, 10 paisa in Kolkata, 12 paisa in Mumbai and 11 paisa in Chennai.

The fuel prices are revised on a daily basis in India, and petrol and diesel rates are directly dependent on crude oil prices. Other factors like rupee to US dollar exchange rate, global cues and demand also impact the price of fuel.
