Petrol and diesel prices

Petrol and diesel prices have been increased by around 90 paise per litre today. As per state-run Indian Oil, petrol prices in the National Capital increased to Rs 98.64 per litre from Rs 97.77 earlier, while diesel prices rose to Rs 91.58 per litre from Rs 90.67. Reportedly, rates were also increased in Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai.

Last Friday, the government raised petrol and diesel prices by over Rs 3 per litre, the first hike in four years, to offset losses caused by rising global crude oil prices amid the US-Iran war.

Image
Looking for advice on which new bike to purchase. Few things to note - Budget is INR 3-4 Lakhs. It will not be my primary mode of transport as I mostly use my car. The bike will be used 60-70 percent for Sunday morning rides, 10-20 percent touring and 10-20 percent maybe the odd office commute or coffee run. Prefer comfortable upright ergonomics. Do let me know if you need any further info from my end. Thanks in advance for your help! Rahul Khurana, New Delhi Autocar India says: You haven’t mentioned whether the bike you are looking for is meant to be sporty and exciting or calm and relaxed in nature, so we’ll share a few options at both ends of that spectrum.

At the sporty end, there’s no beating the new Gen 3 KTM 390 Duke which offers the strongest performance available at this price as well as outstanding handl...
