Diesel is being sold for Rs 100.01 per litre in kodaikanal, despite declining crude oil prices on the world market, as indian oil corporations continue to boost petrol and diesel rates. petrol prices in kodaikanal, Dindigul district, reached Rs. 100 per litre for the first time in tamil Nadu a few months ago. In the kodaikanal highlands, a litre of petrol currently costs Rs. 110.32. In this situation, diesel prices in the kodaikanal highlands are now in the hundreds of rupees. A litre of diesel costs Rs 100.01 today.
Prices of all basic items, including construction materials, delivered to the kodaikanal highlands from Madurai, Dindigul, Palani, and Wattalakundu, are projected to rise as a result of the increase in diesel prices. The general public is at a disadvantage because all commodities are expensive, and people must drive their daily necessities up the hill. In the kodaikanal highlands, the diesel price has surpassed Rs. 100 for the first time in tamil Nadu.
Russell Hardy, the CEO of Vitol, warned previously this week a diesel crisis in europe might lead to fuel restriction. Now, these concerns are becoming more frequent, and fuel rationing is no more an abstract concept.
