In Mumbai, petrol is being sold at ₹106.59 per litre, whereas diesel has reached ₹97.18 per litre.

Delhi is the last of the metro city to see petrol rising above the ₹100 per litre mark. Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Pune already have prices above that mark.

The rally in international oil prices has reflected in rising retail prices in India, which is 85 per cent dependent on imports to meet its oil needs.

Fuel prices vary from state to state depending on the incidence of local taxes such as value-added tax (VAT) and freight charges. Half of the diesel price is made up of taxes ( ₹31.80 central excise and ₹13.04 state VAT).Diesel is above that level in some places in Rajasthan, Odisha and Madhya Pradesh.

The hike on Thursday is the 37th increase in the price of petrol since May 4, when state-owned oil firms ended an 18-day hiatus in rate revision they observed during assembly elections in states like West Bengal.
