Petrol price Rs 3 short of Rs 100-mark in Mumbai
MUMBAI: The price of petrol in Mumbai is at an all-time high again, at just around Rs 3 short of the Rs 100-mark. Sources in oil marketing companies said that due to huge fluctuations in crude oil prices in the international market, the possibility of petrol hitting Rs 100 in the city cannot be ruled out.
On Friday, the price rose by 30 paise to peak at Rs 96.62 per litre at city pumps. The price of petrol in Parbhani district touched Rs 98.78 on Friday.
