The fresh hike comes just two days after fuel prices were revised upward on Saturday, with petrol increasing by Rs 0.87 per litre and diesel by Rs 0.91 per litre.
The consecutive increases in fuel rates come amid sustained pressure from rising global crude oil prices and ongoing geopolitical tensions in West Asia, which continue to affect international energy markets and domestic fuel costs.
The back-to-back hikes are expected to have a cascading effect on transportation costs and household expenses, especially in urban centres heavily dependent on road transport.
Earlier, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas reassured the public that India has adequate petrol and diesel supplies.
The ministry further emphasised that responsible consumption and public cooperation are essential to ensure smooth fuel availability during the ongoing period of high demand and global uncertainty.
Government officials, however, maintain that the revisions are necessary to offset rising import costs and ensure stability in fuel supplies amid volatile global crude oil markets and ongoing geopolitical tensions.
