The government on Sunday announced that the price of petrol for February will go up by Rs2.70 per litre.
According to a notification by the Prime Minister Office, light diesel oil will also see a rise in price by Rs3 per litre, while high speed diesel will cost dearer by Rs2.88 per litre.
The new prices will take effect at midnight and as has become recent practice, may undergo revision before February 15.
