Petrol, diesel prices at record highs; crosses ₹100-mark in Maharashtra
The Hindu
This is the second time this year that rates in some parts have crossed the ₹100-a litre mark
Petrol and diesel prices on Monday hit record highs across the country after rates were increased for the fifth time in a week, following which Maharashtra joined Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh in the league of states where petrol rates breached the ₹100-a-litre mark. Petrol price was hiked by 26 paise a litre and diesel by 33 paise per litre, according to a price notification by state-owned fuel retailers. This was the fifth increase in prices since May 4, when the state-owned oil firms ended an 18-hiatus in rate revision during assembly elections in states like West Bengal.More Related News
