The hike follows the fuel price raise on Tuesday. Petrol and diesel prices were hiked across metros after a day's pause. 

The fuel rates were increased again on Wednesday, owing to the rising prices in the international markets, taking the petrol and diesel rates to fresh record highs. Petrol price was increased by 30 paise per litre and diesel by 35 paise a litre.

Petrol now costs Rs 102.94 per litre in Delhi and diesel is priced at Rs 91.42 a litre.

Meanwhile, global benchmark Brent jumped to $82.53 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate rose to $78.87 a barrel.

A total of 12 cylinders of 14.2 kg each per household at subsidised or below market rates is what the government policy provides for currently. Any additional quantity over and above this has to be purchased at prevalent market price or non-subsidised rates.
