Jio-bp Raises Petrol by Rs 5 and Diesel by Rs 3 Amid Rising Global Oil Prices
Reliance Industries-backed Jio-bp raised petrol prices by Rs 5 per litre and diesel by Rs 3 per litre effective October 11, following a similar hike by Nayara Energy earlier in the month. Prices vary across states due to local taxes, with petrol around Rs 109.80 and diesel near Rs 97.75 in Haryana. The increases reflect rising international crude and refined product costs, impacting retail margins. State-run fuel retailers have not changed prices, widening the gap with private sellers. Diesel sales restrictions by Jio-bp may become less relevant as customers seek cheaper options elsewhere.
