Prices of fuel go up once again

KATHMANDU, FEBRUARY 20 : Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) has once again announced the hike in the prices of petroleum products.

The price of petrol has been increased by Rs 3 per liter to Rs 145. The price of diesel and kerosene has also been increased by Rs 3 per liter to Rs 128.  The NOC, however, has kept the prices of cooking gas and aviation turbine fuel intact.

The state-owned oil monopoly has been increasing the price of petroleum products since last July citing the rise in the cost of fuel in the international market.
