The government has raised petrol and diesel prices from October 1, 2025, citing global oil market shifts and exchange rate impact. Petrol now costs Rs. 268.68 per liter after a Rs. 4.07 hike, while diesel stands at Rs. 276.81 with a Rs. 4.04 increase. Officials said the revision is aimed at managing energy imports and ensuring stable fuel supply, though it adds to the burden of rising living costs for the public.
