Govt keeps petrol, diesel prices unchanged for two days

The government decided to hold steady on petrol and diesel prices for two days in a break from recent increases, due to the lack of "Platts prices" on weekends. This comes after a significant hike of Rs3.66 and Rs4.80 per litre for petrol and diesel, respectively, just a day prior. With the current price of petrol at Rs335.18 and diesel at Rs383.46 per litre, the taxes and duties add another substantial amount to the cost. This pause is important as it reflects the government's sensitivity to fuel price fluctuations and their impact on the economy and daily life.
