Fuel prices have surged across India as oil marketing companies hiked petrol by ₹3.14 per liter and diesel by ₹3.11 per liter after a gap of nearly four years. In Punjab, petrol has crossed the ₹101 mark, while diesel is priced at ₹90.78 per liter. The price hike is attributed to rising international crude oil prices, which have increased the financial burden on domestic oil companies. Prices are updated daily at 6 AM and vary across states due to local taxes like VAT and excise duty. https://zeenews.india.com/hindi/zeephh/national/petrol-diesel-price-hike-india-fuel-rates-increased-by-3-rupees-after-4-years-may-2026/3217608 #Creator program
