Crude Oil Price will increase!
In the past few days, crude oil has returned strongly. Its price has increased more than 1% in the global market. In the domestic market, it seems to be trading on the edge. In such a situation, there is a possibility that the prices of petrol and diesel will increase in the coming days. Here, prices of petrol and diesel are influenced by international crude prices.
It is to be noted that while presenting the General Budget 2019-20 in the Lok Sabha on July 5 at the beginning of the month, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had announced an increase in excise duty and cess of rupees one per one on petrol and diesel. Thus, the price of petrol and diesel in the country increased by about two and a half rupees the next day on the announcement of increase of tax of Rs two rupees.
