Assam government increases petrol prices by Rs 1.02 per litre, Diesel by Rs 1.01 a litre

Assam government has increased the petrol prices by Rs 1.02 per litre and Diesel prices by Rs 1.01.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Thursday that the prices of fuel in the state are Rs. 7 less than in West Bengal, claiming that it is one of the lowest in India.

Sarma said, “The price of petrol and diesel in Assam is Rs. 7 less than in West Bengal. Our prices are one of the lowest in India.” “I think there is an atmosphere of floods. Before the Assam elections, we reduced the price by Rs. 3, but not from the revenue side because we have increased Re. 1. But compared to West Bengal, the price of petrol and diesel is less by Rs. 7, and this is before the elections. So, there is no increase in the price,” he said.
