Following the recent surge in petrol and diesel prices, the government has announced another increase in the price of kerosene, further adding to the financial burden on consumers.
According to an official notification, the price of kerosene has been increased by Rs 34.8 per liter. With this latest adjustment, the new price of kerosene has reached Rs 467.48 per liter.
The notification states that the revised price has come into effect from today. Prior to this increase, kerosene was being sold at Rs 433.40 per liter.
The continued rise in fuel prices, including kerosene, is expected to significantly impact low-income households, particularly in rural areas where kerosene is widely used for cooking and lighting.
