The petrol and diesel prices in Delhi will increase once again on Monday, the sixth time in a week.
An increase of 30 paise/litre on petrol and 35 paise/litre on diesel will be effective from 6 am.
The new petrol price in Delhi will be Rs 99.41/L, while for diesel it will be Rs 90.77/L.
Meanwhile, Congress on Sunday attacked the government after fuel prices were increased for the fifth time in six days, and demanded that it should give an account of the Rs 26 lakh crore "accrued" through excise duty on petrol and diesel in about eight years.
The petrol price on Sunday was hiked by 50 paise a litre and diesel by 55 paise, taking the total increase in rates since the resumption of daily price revision less than a week back to Rs 3.70-3.75 per litre.
In a tweet in Hindi, Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said, "Will tell with full force - in eight years, earned a profit of Rs 26,00,000 crore through tax loot on petrol/diesel. Were silent for 137 days to dupe voters in elections, then in only six days, loot of Rs 3.75 per litre."
He also posted an old video of Prime Minister Narendra Modi talking about the Opposition crediting his luck for a reduction in petrol prices.
