Diesel supply dries up in North India
Not good at all!! Dont tell me India will also go the London way where Diesel is costlier than Petrol (read this on one of the threads in T-Bhp itself) I was always under the impression that in India, Diesel prices will always remain cheaper since the transport industry and the agriculture industry use it for their daily needs. But the way things are going and the demand for diesel rising, i would not be surprised if Diesel is priced 5 or 10 rupees higher than petrol in the near future.
