Nayara Energy Raises Petrol by Rs 5 and Diesel by Rs 3 per Litre Nationwide
Nayara Energy, India's largest private fuel retailer, has increased petrol prices by Rs 5 per litre and diesel by Rs 3 per litre across its 7,108 fuel stations effective October 3. This adjustment aims to narrow the gap between retail prices and rising international crude and refined-product costs. State-owned fuel retailers have largely kept prices stable despite global fluctuations. The government has advised private retailers against restricting fuel sales amid concerns over industrial consumers purchasing retail diesel due to price differences.
