Mumbai: Parbhani district in Maharashtra is Rs1.52 short of reaching Rs100 for a litre of petrol, while in 20 other state districts the price is over Rs96. In Mumbai, it went up for the tenth consecutive day, with petrol being hiked by 32paise to retail at Rs96.32 on Thursday, while diesel went up to Rs87.32 a litre.
\nDiesel in Amravati was Rs1.29 short of the Rs90-mark and is the highest in the state at Rs88.71. In 18 state districts diesel is over Rs86 now.
\nPremium petrol has crossed Rs100 in several cities of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, and also in Parbhani and Nanded in Maharashtra. In Thane and Navi Mumbai, petrol was Rs96.44, and diesel Rs87.43.
\nSeveral transporters have backed out of the February 26 one-day token strike as few politically-backed unions will participate, said Bal Malkit Singh of All-India Motor Transport Congress. \u201cWe gave an ultimatum to the government of 14 days, and if it fails to give us relief, we will protest nationwide,\u201d he said. Sources said transporters may go in for a chakka jam, like they did during the all-India strike in July 2018 on fuel price hikes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
