The fuel prices have remained unchanged for the past four months and it has stayed the same on March 8 too. However, there is a report doing rounds that claims that petrol and diesel prices are expected to spike this week as oil companies are getting ready to cut losses after they’ve kept rates steady for more than four months before the assembly elections in five states.

It is reported that the International oil prices have jumped to a 13-year high of $140 per barrel.

The news agency PTI in its report said that their sources in the oil industry say that fuel prices need to be upped by Rs 15 per litre for retailers to come back up to break-even levels.

On the eve of Diwali, last year, the central government announces an excise duty cut on fuels resulting in a sharp decrease in petrol and diesel prices across the country. The government had cut the price of petrol by Rs 5 and that of diesel by Rs 10. Following this decision, several states, mostly ruled by National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and allies have also cut the Value Added Tax (VAT) on petrol and diesel prices.

This decision was also viewed as a move for the five state assembly elections. The five states that went to the polls are Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Goa, and Manipur.

What is the price of petrol and diesel in metro cities?
