Soaring petrol price: List of states where fuel rate breached Rs 100/litre mark

Fuel prices have been touching record highs in India this year, especially last month. Petrol—the key auto fuel— has either crossed or inched closer to Rs 100 per litre mark across most cities including Mumbai, Jaipur, Bhopal and Hyderabad.

Although soaring fuel prices eased up a bit during March and April, there has been a constant increase in retail prices of petrol and diesel by oil marketing companies (OMCs) since May 4.

Due to the consistent rise over the past one month, petrol has crossed the Rs 100 mark in seven states and union territories including Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Ladakh and Karnataka.
