Surging crude price, supply constraints cited
The price of petrol crossed ₹100 a litre across the State on Friday and Saturday.
The last time this happened in the State was in the last week of June, and the price crossed ₹100 in the first week of July in outlets in core Chennai city. Prices of fuel and auto gas differ from place to place due to transportation costs.
The price of petrol was ₹100.24 a litre in Mamallapuram, ₹100.98 in Marakanam, ₹101.83 in Cuddalore, ₹102.11 in Chidambaram, ₹100.37 in Madurai, ₹100.24 in Tiruchi and ₹100.54 in Salem.

With the objective of ensuring safe travel for women, senior citizens and visiting tourists in Madurai, a new women e-auto programme was launched here on Thursday. Speaking at the launch function, Venkatesan Dhattatreyan, Regional Director, Union Ministry of Tourism, said a city like Madurai, with high heritage value, had ample scope for womenfolk to make their livelihood with decent earnings.
