NEW DELHI: Diesel price hit a new high at Rs 80.78 a litre in the capital on Tuesday, but petrol price remined unchanged as state-run fuel retailers raised the price of the former by 25 paise after a week’s break in daily price revisions.
\nIn Mumbai, petrol is priced at Rs 87.19 but diesel rose to Rs 79.05 a litre from Rs 78.83.
\nDiesel prices have risen in other states too – the quantum varies due to difference in state levies – but have remained much cheaper than petrol. In Delhi, however, the fuel used by transporters and farmers is costlier because of a big increase in the value added tax (VAT).
\nIn the last one month, petrol price has risen by Rs 9.17 a litre and diesel Rs 11.39. The price of diesel was increased 23 times during this period and petrol 21 times. Petrol and diesel prices were last revised on June 29.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
