According to reports, petrol prices saw a hike across all four metro cities in the country on Tuesday, September 28, after over 2 months, while diesel prices rose for the fourth consecutive day today.

While petrol had become expensive by up to 19 to 25 paise per litre, diesel price was up by 24 to 27 paise per litre.
