Oil supplies to Czech Republic via Druzhba pipeline resume
Crude oil deliveries from Russia's Druzhba pipeline to the Czech Republic resumed on Friday after two days of interruption, according to Czech refiner Orlen Unipetrol.
Petrol rates continued to rise for the fifth consecutive day on Monday, whereas the diesel prices remained constant for nearly one week. The fuel prices have been affected due to an increase in rates of crude oil in the international market. Though on Monday, the petrol rates in the international market remained unchanged, the Brent crude oil rates were the highest in the past two months.
According to the Indian Oil website, petrol prices in the major metropolitan cities were up drastically by 16 paise/litre.
