Diesel price across the country was hiked by Rs 5 per litre with effect from Thursday midnight(14.09.2012), even as petrol, kerosene and LPG rates remained the same.
The decision was taken by the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA) headed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, late on Thursday evening.
A litre of diesel will now cost Rs 50.11 in Bangalore, Rs 48.91 in Chennai, Rs 46.32 in Delhi, Rs 51.25 in Mumbai and Rs 49.76 in Kolkata, after addition of 12.5 per cent VAT.Besides, the CCPA decided to restrict the yearly supply of domestic LPG to six cylinders per household, a decision which is bound to pinch the common man.
