Concerned about petrol, diesel price pinch: Oil Minister
Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has said the government is concerned about "pinch" to consumers due to rising price of petrol and diesel. Petrol price in Delhi reached a 55-month high of â¹74.63 a litre and diesel hit a new high of â¹65.93. Asked if the ministry has sought a reduction in excise duty, Pradhan said working "piecemeal" won't help.
