Petrol prices in Rajasthan’s Sri Ganganagar district rose to Rs 123 per litre on Monday morning, making it the costliest in the country.
The unprecedented hike has impacted over 80 per cent of petrol pumps bringing them on the verge of closure, confirmed petrol pump owners.
In fact, the price of diesel here is Rs 105.31 per litre, which yet remains one of the highest prices in India.
However, in the neighbouring state of Punjab, petrol and diesel are cheaper by Rs 17 and Rs 11 per litre respectively.
Petrol consumers from Rajasthan can be seen making beeline at filling stations of Punjab, while those in Sri Ganganagar have very limited consumers.
