Madikeri, May 15: The central government has increased the prices of petrol and diesel, and the new prices have come into effect from May 15. The fuel supply is being disrupted due to the war situation in the Middle East, and the central government's increase in prices will have a serious impact on most systems.
Petrol prices have increased by Rs. 3.26 per liter and diesel by Rs. 5.26. The price of petrol Premier has increased by Rs. 5.26 and diesel Green by Rs. 3.11. Till yesterday, petrol was priced at Rs. 103.96 per liter in the state, now it is Rs. 107.22 and diesel is Rs. 92.05, which is Rs. 95.16. The prices of private companies like Nayara, Shell Reliance will increase further.
This is the price that has increased nationwide. It is said that if the state government imposes more taxes on petrol and diesel as per its authority, the price will increase further.
Earlier, there was public opposition to the price hike in the state, and it was withdrawn in Karnataka. In Karnataka and the neighboring state of Tamil Nadu, the state government did not increase the price. But only in the state of Kerala, the state government had increased the price. Now, compared to Karnataka, the price in Kerala has increased further. In this state, the price of petrol, which was 107.38 yesterday, is today Rs. 110.36 and the price of diesel, which was 96.26, has now increased to Rs. 99.35. When petrol and diesel were increased in Kerala earlier, vehicle owners there used to fill up fuel mostly from the bunkers in the Karnataka-Tamil Nadu border area. Also, Kerala government buses were sometimes seen relying on the fuel stations in the Karnataka-Tamil Nadu border, said petrol station entrepreneur Kollira Umesh, who shared his experience. Umesh expressed his opinion that now that the central government has increased the price, it is time to wait and see what the Karnataka government will do next.
