Kerosene and premix fuel witnessed the highest jump in the latest adjustments in prices of petroleum products.

Kerosene went up by 5 percent for a litre, while premix fuel which is mainly used by  fishermen recorded a 18 percent increase per litre.

Industries would be paying 5 percent more per litre for residual fuel oil.

However,  users of petrol would be paying about 2 percent less for every litre purchased, while users of  liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) would also have a lot to smile about as they would be buying a kilogram today for about 3 percent less.

However users of diesel might have to wait for the next review because there was not any change in price.
