Petrol and diesel prices have been rise harshly for the past few days in India in the wake of a sharp rebound in international crude oil prices and weak rupee-dollar exchange rate.

It is anticipated that, petrol and diesel rates may rise further in the coming months as the oil companies attempt to recover losses.
