Petrol at ₹100: After Mumbai, fuel prices breach record in these states
After a hike for the second time this month, petrol prices crossed the record ₹100-mark in Leh, almost all districts of Andhra Pradesh and parts of Telangana on Friday.
According to a price notification by state-owned fuel retailers, petrol got costlier by 27 paise per litre and diesel by 28 paise per litre.
The hike – 18th in the last 30 days – took fuel prices across the country to a historic high.
After this, petrol was retailing at an all-time high of ₹94.76 a litre in Delhi, while diesel is now priced at ₹85.66 per litre.
Fuel prices differ from state to state depending on the incidence of local taxes such as VAT and freight charges.
