New Delhi: With the new Budget rules coming into effect starting Thursday, a whole range of products and services ranging from fuel, cars, consumer goods to housing loans, get costlier.
While small cars will cost Rs 2000 more, luxury car prices will be increased by Rs 71,000. Fuel prices are also set to go up as Euro-IV petrol costs 46 paise higher per litre. This will be effective in 13 cities, including the four metros. And, Euro-IV diesel goes up by 26 paise per litre.
Steel prices are likely to go up by 40 per cent, increasing prices of houses. And, home loans will get dearer with a 10% increase in service taxes on semi-finished housing projects.
While urea prices, up by 10 per cent, will hit hard the farmers, consumer goods such as ACs, TVs and refrigerators are set for a hike in prices too. No respite for housewives either with a hike in prices of spices such as chilli, tamarind and others.
