Diesel prices to go up in the region today

Diesel consumers in Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh and Delhi will have to pay Rs 1-4 more per litre from Thursday, with the four states and the union territory increasing value-added tax (VAT) on diesel. The decision is consequent to parleys held by a committee of finance ministers of the states and the UT for a uniform VAT structure. The hiked VAT will be around 17% across the board.
