In Mumbai, petrol prices stand at ₹97.57, while diesel costs ₹88.60, data available on Indian Oil Corporation’s website showed. The prices of fuel differ from state to state owing to the taxes levied on them both by the central as well as state governments along with freight charges. The taxes levied by the central and the state government contribute to 60 per cent of the retail selling price of petrol and over 54 per cent of diesel. The fuel prices are usually revised on a daily basis in tandem with the benchmark international price and foreign exchange rates.
