KATHMANDU, July 1: The Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) has announced an increase in petroleum product prices following a Board of Directors meeting held on Sunday.

Effective from midnight, the prices of petrol, diesel, and kerosene have been raised due to increased costs from the Indian Oil Corporation, NOC’s sole supplier of petroleum products.

The new rates are Rs 2 per liter higher for petrol and Rs 5 per liter higher for diesel and kerosene. In first-category areas like Charali, Biratnagar, Janakpur, Amlekhgunj, Nepalgunj, Dhangadhi, and Birgunj, petrol is now Rs 164.50 per liter, and diesel is Rs 154.50.
