Fuel prices see 13th hike in 22 days
Pump rates of auto fuels hit another record on Tuesday as state-run oil companies raised the price of petrol by 23 paise per litre and diesel by 25 paise, the 13th hike in 22 days.
Petrol, which has crossed the ₹100 per litre mark in several cities, is now selling for ₹99.71 a litre in Mumbai, while diesel is being sold at record ₹91.57 per litre in the financial capital. The pump prices of petrol and diesel in Delhi also surged to a new record of ₹93.44 per litre and ₹84.32 a litre, respectively.
While fuel rates in Delhi are the benchmark for the entire country, retail prices of the two fuels differ from place to place because of variations in state taxes and local levies.
