Petrol and diesel prices shot to new all-time highs in several parts of the country on Saturday, as rates were hiked again by 25 paise and 30 paise a litre, respectively.
In Delhi, the price of petrol rose to its highest ever level of Rs 102.14 a litre and in Mumbai, to Rs 108.19, according to a price notification of state-owned fuel retailers.
Diesel rates, too, touched a record high of Rs 90.47 in Delhi and Rs 98.16 a litre in Mumbai.
Prices of the two fuels differ from state to state depending on the incidence of local taxes.
The price hike follows international oil prices soaring to near three-year high as global output disruptions forced energy companies to draw more crude oil out of their stockpiles.
