Petrol prices may rise by Rs6.60 from July 16
Petrol and diesel prices are expected to rise by up to Rs6.60 per litre (2.5%) for the next fortnight starting July 16, 2025, according to estimates by the petroleum industry.
The projected hike includes a Rs6.60 per litre increase in petrol prices and a Rs5.27 per litre (1.9%) rise in the rate of high-speed diesel (HSD).
However, prices of other petroleum products, including kerosene oil and light diesel oil (LDO), are expected to decline by Rs3.74 (2%) and Rs2.23 (1.3%) per litre, respectively.
These estimates are based on a petroleum levy (PL) and carbon sustainability levy (CSL) of Rs78.02 per litre on petrol and Rs77.01 per litre on HSD.
