Fuel prices, which have been soaring to unprecedented levels in the country of late, remained unchanged on Sunday.
In the national capital, petrol was priced at Rs 91.17 per litre, same as on Saturday.
Similarly, in Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata, the fuel was sold for Rs 97.57, Rs 93.11 and Rs 91.35 a litre respectively.
Oil
marketing companies pressed the pause button after raising the pump
price of petrol and diesel by 24 paise and 15 paise per litre on
Saturday.
In line with petrol, diesel prices also were unchanged
on Sunday at Rs 81.47, Rs 88.60, Rs 86.45 and Rs 84.35 per litre,
respectively in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata.
Petrol and diesel prices have been rising continuously since February 9.
The
increase in the previous weeks has taken petrol to cross historic high
levels of Rs 100 a litre in several cities across the country.
Premium petrol crossed Rs 100 per litre mark in several cities of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra a few days back.
Since
fuel prices are benchmarked to a 15-day rolling average of global
refined products' prices and dollar exchange rate, pump prices can be
expected to remain northbound over the next few days even if crude price
stabilises.
Oil companies executives said that petrol and diesel
prices may increase further in coming days as retail prices may have to
be balanced in line with global developments to prevent OMCs from
making losses on sale of auto fuels.
