The Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) has increased the price of petrol, diesel and kerosene by Rs 2 effective from Wednesday midnight.
“With this increment, petrol is priced at Rs 111 per litre while diesel and kerosene will cost Rs 100 in Kathmandu,” confirmed NOC spokesperson Birendra Goit. The NOC has made an adjustment based on revised rates forwarded by the Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) – the sole supplier of the fuel to the NOC – today.
However, the price of cooking gas and aviation fuel remained unchanged, he said, adding that the price of petroleum products in places close to Nepal-India border areas will be slightly lower compared to the prices in Kathmandu valley.
Earlier, on December 17, the NOC had raised the price of diesel and kerosene by 1 rupee per liter each, while keeping the petrol price unchanged. But on December 2, the prices of petrol, diesel and kerosene were hiked by Rs 2 per liter each.
After lowering the price by Rs 2 per liter on September 10 – after the formal launch of the Motihari-Amlekhgunj, India-Nepal cross border petroleum pipeline – the NOC has already raised the price of petrol by Rs 4 per litre.
