The government increased the petrol price by Rs26.02 per litre on Friday, a decision which was due as the government revises the fuel prices every 15 days.
“Owning to the increasing trend of petroleum prices in the international market, the government has decided to revise the existing consumer prices of petroleum prices,” said the finance ministry’s press release.
Unlike in the past, the caretaker government did not announce the fuel rate in a live address to the nation.
