Petrol price breaches ₹100 mark in Chandigarh

The spiralling fuel prices have hit yet another milestone in the tricity with petrol crossing the ₹100 per litre mark in Chandigarh.

While petrol was priced at ₹100.24 per litre on Sunday, even diesel rates were at an all-time high of ₹92.55 per litre. The prices have gone up by nearly 25% since the beginning of the year, as petrol was available for ₹81.08 while diesel cost ₹74.14 in the first week of January. According to PTI, petrol is priced above ₹100 across all state capitals except Ranchi.

However, across the tricity, fuel still remains cheapest in Chandigarh. Petrol had already crossed the ₹100 mark in Mohali on June 26, while Panchkula reached the milestone on October 5.
