Petrol became costlier by 3.83/lt, diesel by ₹4.42/lt in May
Auto fuel rates continued to surge unabated for the sixteenth time in May as state-run retailers hiked petrol prices by 29 paise per litre and diesel by 26 paise a litre on Monday.
Petrol is now costlier by ₹3.83 per litre and diesel ₹4.42 a litre across the country since May 4, a day after results of five assembly polls were declared.
The unidirectional upward movement this month saw petrol breaching ₹100 mark in various cities across the country, particularly in Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.
Some of the cities selling the fuel for over ₹100 per litre are Mumbai, Ratnagiri, Parbhani, Aurangabad, Jaisalmer, Ganganagar, Banswara, Indore, Bhopal, Gwalior, Guntur and Kakinada.
