Petrol breaches Rs 101 per litre mark in Mumbai, no respite in other metros
Oil is back on the boil after a small pause. In Mumbai, the price of petrol breached the Rs 101-a-litre mark at Rs 101.25 per litre. The fuel in the national capital crossed the Rs 95-per-litre mark.
It is being sold for Rs 95.03 a litre, up from Rs 94.76 on Saturday. In Chennai and Kolkata, the fuel was sold for Rs 96.47, Rs 95.02, respectively, higher than the levels on Saturday.
Similarly, diesel prices also rose across the four cities.
In Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata, rose to Rs 85.95, Rs 93.30, Rs 90.66 and Rs 88.80 per litre, respectively.
Indian fuel prices have soared in the past year as Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration has repeatedly raised sales taxes to cushion worsening public finances.
