Petrol price on Saturday crossed the Rs 100-a-litre mark in Mumbai after the 15th increase in fuel prices this month.
Petrol price was increased by 26 paise per litre and diesel by 28 paise a litre, according to a price notification of state-owned fuel retailers.
The increase – 15th this month – took petrol and diesel prices to a fresh all-time high across the country.
The price of petrol, which had already crossed the Rs 100-mark in several cities in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, breached the psychological barrier in Mumbai on Saturday.
Petrol now costs Rs 100.19 a litre in Mumbai and diesel comes for Rs 92.17 per litre.
