New Delhi, May 23 (JKNS): Petrol and diesel prices were increased by up to 91 paise per litre across the country on Saturday, marking the third hike in fuel rates in less than 10 days.

The latest revision comes after state-owned oil marketing companies resumed passing on the impact of rising international energy prices to consumers from May 15 onwards.
