Rajasthan border district pays ₹100/L for petrol as prices surge
In a first for any place in India, the price of petrol crossed the ₹100/litre mark on Wednesday in the remotest district of Rajasthan, Sri Ganganagar.
The price of petrol touched ₹100.33 on Wednesday in Sri Ganganagar. The corresponding price in Jaipur was ₹95.99. The difference is because of transportation charges levied by oil companies.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said the middle-class would not have been burdened because of increase in fuel prices if the previous governments had focussed on reducing India’s energy import dependence.
