Uncertainty looming in Europe, especially over Greece, which is going to see a new round of election next month, caused panic among the fellow Euro nations and the rest of the world. The petrol price was hiked by Rs 6.8 excluding state VAT that came as a shocker, but there was no correction in the markets. There was also news that price of LPG, diesel and kerosene will also be increases. But, according to sources, there might be a partial roll back of petrol price hike and the decision to hike other fuel prices would be put on hold, atleast for the time being.
