Petrol prices continued the upward movement across the metro cities on
Saturday with the cost inching closer to the Rs 90-per-litre mark in
Mumbai.
In the financial capital of the country, petrol was sold
at Rs 89.80, up from Rs 89.69 per litre on Friday, data on the Indian
Oil Corp's website showed.
Similarly, in the other three cities
of Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai, the fuel was priced at Rs 82.44, Rs 84.27
and Rs 85.69 per litre, against Rs 82.32, Rs 84.16 and Rs 85.58 per
litre.
The continuous rise in transportation fuel prices has been
in tandem with the increase in crude oil prices. Brent crude oil is
currently priced around $78.80 per barrel.
Further, sector experts say, the high excise duty in the country has also added to the high prices.
In contrast to petrol, prices of diesel were unchanged on Saturday for the fourth consecutive day.
Diesel
prices in Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai were unchanged at Rs
73.87, Rs 75.72, Rs 78.42 and Rs 78.10 per litre, respectively.
Cost
of the fuel in all the key cities except Kolkata are at their record
levels. The all-time high price of diesel in the West Bengal capital was
Rs 75.82, as recorded on September 11.
