State-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) Monday hiked the petrol price by Rs.1.69 a litre, excluding taxes, effective from midnight, owing to a rise in global oil prices and exchange rates.
Diesel prices were also hiked by 50 paise per litre.

The government had, in January 2013, permitted OMCs to increase the diesel price by small doses of up to 50 paise per litre every month till their losses on this account are completely eliminated.
Even after the current increase, under recovery, or losses, on sale of diesel shall stand at Rs.3.40 per litre, it added. - IANS
