Petrol price on Wednesday soared to over ₹100-mark per litre in Rajasthan – the highest level India has ever seen – as fuel prices were hiked for the ninth day in a row.
Petrol price was raised by 25 paise per litre and diesel by 25 paise, according to a price notification of state-owned fuel retailers.
The increase in petrol and diesel priced pushed retail rates, which differ from state to state depending on the incidence of local sales tax or VAT and freight charges, to their highest level.
