May 23 (Reuters) - Indian state-fuel retailers raised petrol and diesel prices by less than a rupee on Saturday, dealers said, the third such increase this month as the government looks to recover some losses from high crude prices caused by the Iran war.
Petrol in New Delhi will cost 0.87 rupees (just under 1 U.S. cent) more at 99.51 rupees a litre, while diesel will be priced 0.91 rupees higher at 92.49 rupees per litre, dealers said.
