Fuel prices at record high today; Petrol, diesel rates hiked by 25 paise/litre
The upward price movement of auto fuels continued unabated for the seventh time in nine days as state-run oil companies raised their rates by 25 paise a litre on Wednesday to sell petrol and diesel at record ₹92.05 per litre and ₹82.61 a litre respectively in Delhi.
The recent round of price hike made petrol costlier by ₹1.65 per litre and diesel by ₹1.88 a litre since May 4 across the country. Pump prices of petrol and diesel vary from place to place due to different state taxes and local levies.
On Wednesday, many cities of Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh (MP) have seen petrol prices going beyond ₹100 per litre. According to Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), petrol is sold at ₹100.97 a litre in Jaisalmer (Rajasthan), ₹100.70 in Prabhani (Maharashtra) and ₹100.08 in Bhopal (MP).
