Petrol and diesel prices across the country will increase by 9-13 paise a litre with effect from Tuesday midnight, after the government decided to increase the commission to petrol pump dealers. In Delhi, the price of petrol will go up by 13 paise to Rs 51.56 a litre, while diesel will be 9 paise costlier to Rs 37.71 per litre. The price of auto LPG will also increase by 8 paise to Rs 30.94 a litre, said an Indian Oil official.

The Federation of All India Petrol Traders had demanded that the government increase dealer commission and had threatened to go on an indefinite strike from September 20 to press its demand.
