As petrol crosses ₹100/ltr in Mumbai, here are fuel prices in other cities

Petrol prices in India reached a new all-time high in India after fuel prices were increased for the 15th time this month. According to a notification from the state-owned fuel retailers, petrol price was hiked by 26 paise a litre and diesel price increased by 28 paise a litre. The price of petrol crossed ₹100 per litre in Mumbai on Saturday and already breached that mark in several districts across states like Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan. Diesel price was also increased in Mumbai and is currently being sold at ₹92.17 per litre.

Local taxes levied by state governments contribute to the varying fuel prices between states. Rajasthan charges the highest Value Added Tax (VAT) on petrol among other states in India, followed by Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.
