Before starting the car, take a look at the petrol-diesel meter! Know how much it will affect your pocket today
Every morning when we pick up the keys of our car, a question definitely comes to our mind – “Where will the petrol-diesel meter stop today?” This is not just a question, but it is the biggest part of our month’s budget. Every day at 6 in the morning, government oil companies release new rates, and decide whether today will be a relief for our pockets or will pass with a slightly tighter belt. These prices not only affect the tank of our vehicle but also affect the prices of vegetables and fruits in the market. So let’s see what is the condition of your city on 24th December 2025. Even today, some fluctuations in prices have been seen in the big cities of the country.

Just as vegetables become expensive, food also becomes expensive, similarly when crude oil becomes expensive, the prices of petrol and diesel increase.

Government Tax (Largest Part): A large part of the price of your filled oil goes in the form of central and state government taxes. This is the reason why the rates are different in every state. Expenses of oil companies: There is a lot of expenditure in refining the crude oil and also in transporting it to the petrol pump. Find out today’s rate by SMS from home.
