Premium petrol price crosses ₹100 mark in 3 Rajasthan districts

Premium petrol price crossed ₹100 mark in three districts of Rajasthan on Sunday riding on the sixth consecutive day of rise in fuel prices in the backdrop of a political blame game between the BJP and the Congress over fixing responsibility for the continued hike, which is likely to impact millions of consumers with a likely rise in prices of vegetables and fast moving consumer goods (FMCG).

Premium petrol was selling at ₹102.07 per litre in Sri Ganganagar district, the highest rate in the state, followed by Hanumangarh – ₹101.42, Bikaner- ₹100.24 and Barmer- ₹99.43. In capital Jaipur, the price of premium petrol was ₹97.95.

Both the Centre and the state governments have blamed each other for levying steep taxes on fuel prices.
