Petrol, diesel prices at record highs
After a two-day pause, state-run oil companies (OMCs) again raised petrol and diesel rates by 26 paise per litre and 33 paise a litre, respectively. Petrol is retailing at ₹91.53 per litre and diesel at ₹82.06 a litre, an all-time high, in Delhi.
Parbhani (Maharashtra) joined Ganganagar (Rajasthan) and Anuppur (Madhya Pradesh) where petrol prices have crossed ₹100 per litre mark due to state-specific taxes, cess and other local levies.
Petrol in Parbhani was priced at ₹100.20 a litre.
Petrol is costlier by ₹1.13 per litre and diesel by ₹1.33 a litre in just five rounds of price hike in less than a week since May 4, a day after results of assembly polls were declared.
