New Delhi, May 23 : Fuel prices are on the rise again—this is the third jump in the last 10 days. You’re seeing petrol go up by 87 paise per litre, and diesel by 97 paise. It’s hitting wallets hard, especially in big cities where rates are already high, and now household budgets are feeling even more squeezed thanks to inflation and higher transportation costs.

Oil companies bumped up prices after global crude oil rates spiked and international energy markets wobbled. With these fresh numbers, petrol in major metros has crossed new thresholds, and diesel isn’t far behind. Basically, you’re looking at pricier commutes, higher logistics costs, and everything from groceries to essentials getting a bit more expensive.

Three hikes in just days—it’s a clear sign the energy market’s still unstable. People in the industry point to wild swings in crude prices and constant supply issues as the main culprits for these repeated increases in fuel rates.
