Petrol prices have surged in Shimla, crossing ₹103 after a new cess. This significant hike is affecting commuters and vehicle owners in the region.
The recent introduction of a new cess in Himachal Pradesh has led to a substantial increase in petrol prices. In Shimla, the capital city, petrol is now being sold at over ₹103 per liter. This hike is expected to have a ripple effect on the local economy, impacting various sectors including transportation and commerce. The rise in fuel prices may also lead to increased costs for consumers, as businesses may pass on the additional expenses to their customers.
