The fuel prices have been increasing constantly since May and touched Rs 100.20 per litre in Hyderabad on June 14.

Vinay Kumar, President of Telangana State Petrol Association, says, “People who have to commute daily for work are not too happy with the hike. In fact this continuous increase in the fuel prices has affected the monthly budget of the citizens severely. We are expecting that the government will now correct the prices. While the petrol prices may go up a little, diesel prices might decrease by at least Re 1 before the month ends.”

The key factors that influence the fuel prices are the global price of crude oil and the currency value of the rupee against the US dollar. Apart from these, the import cost, entrance duty, refining costs, logistics for fuel producers also affect the pricing.
