The previous price hike of the tankers was, for domestic trips of 5 kilo litres (KL) and 10 kilo litres (KL) the rate was Rs 400 and Rs 800 respectively which was hiked to Rs 600 and Rs 1150 respectively and prices of commercial tankers with the capacity 5 KL, 10KL and 20 KL were hiked from Rs 700, Rs 1400 and Rs 2800 to Rs 900, Rs 1750 and Rs 3500 respectively.
