After a day’s hiatus, petrol and diesel rates were raised again on Sunday for the ninth time this month to scale record high.
The petrol price increased by 24 paise while diesel got costlier by 27 paise, according to a price notification by state-owned fuel retailers.
The hike propelled petrol rates in Delhi to climb to an all-time high of ₹92.58 per litre and diesel reached ₹83.22 per litre.
Rates had already crossed the ₹ 100-mark in several cities in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. With the latest increase, prices in Mumbai are inching closer to the mark too.
Fuel prices differ from state to state depending on the incidence of local taxes such as VAT and freight charges.
