Amidst the ongoing fluctuations in crude oil prices globally, two completely opposite news are coming out from India and its neighboring country Pakistan regarding fuel prices. On one hand, the general public in Pakistan, which is facing a huge economic crisis, has got great relief for the second consecutive week, while on the other hand, the prices of petrol and diesel have once again increased in India. The impact of ongoing tension in West Asia (Middle East) is now clearly visible on the pockets of Indian consumers. Let us know the new prices of petrol and diesel in both the countries and the complete details of the changes in the last few days: 1. Fuel prices in Pakistan: Big relief in 15 days.
