Mumbai: Petrol has become costlier by ₹11.44 per litre across India as the rates have been hiked 41 times in 75 days. On Saturday, petrol price was hiked by 30 paise, while diesel price remained unchanged.
The highest fuel rates have been recorded in Rajasthan’s Ganganagar where pumps are selling petrol at ₹113.21 per litre and diesel at ₹103.15 a litre.
