Petrol crosses Rs 100 in Chennai; at Rs 99 in Delhi, Kolkata
Petrol price on Friday crossed the Rs 100- per-litre mark in Chennai as well as in some places in Punjab and Kerala after fuel prices were hiked yet again.
Petrol is priced at over Rs 99 a litre in Delhi and Kolkata — the only metro cities which haven’t seen the Rs 100 mark yet.
Petrol price was hiked by 35 paise per litre on Friday but there was no change in diesel rates, according to a price notification of state-owned fuel retailers.
On Thursday, the price of domestic cooking gas (LPG) was hiked by Rs 25.50 per 14.2-kg cylinder. A subsidised and non-subsidised cylinder now costs Rs 834.50 in Delhi.
The increase in petrol price — 33rd in two months — took rates across the country to fresh highs.
