Petrol price in Mumbai breached the Rs 85 a litre mark on Thursday and sold at Rs 85.29 per litre.
The
price of the fuel is already at an all-time high in Mumbai along with
Delhi and Chennai and is now creating new benchmarks daily.
In
Delhi and Chennai, petrol was sold for Rs 77.47 and Rs 80.42 per litre
respectively, according to data on the website of Indian Oil Corp.
Kolkata on Thursday joined the club with petrol prices over Rs 80 per litre, at Rs 80.12, the highest in nearly four years.
The
persistent rise in transport fuel prices in the country is largely
attributed to the surge in crude oil prices and high excise duty. The
price of Brent crude oil is currently over $79 per barrel.
There have been demands for government intervention to curb the price rise.
Diesel
prices, which have already reached unprecedented levels, set new
records across the country. In Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai, it
was sold at Rs 68.53, Rs 71.08, Rs 72.96 and Rs 72.35 per litre
respectively.
