Petrol and diesel are set to get expensive as the government has proposed agri cess of Rs 2.5/litre on petrol, Rs 4 on diesel.

This comes when prices for petrol and diesel are already skyrocketing. For many, petrol prices in the national capital have become a major issue as they have recently crossed Rs 86. Petrol prices have hit close to Rs 93 per litre in the financial capital of Mumbai.

Petrol and diesel prices are continuing their upward trend and hitting new peaks across the country every day. With the increase in petrol and diesel rates, ahead of Budget 2021, the common man is faced with new financial issues.
