Petrol and diesel prices are at an all-time high across India.

Petrol prices on Monday saw yet another hike in rates and climbed by around 28 to 30 paise across the country for each litre of the fuel. In Delhi, a litre of petrol is now at 101.19. Diesel prices, however, saw a slight decline and is now at 89.72 for each litre in the national capital.

Petrol and diesel prices have been increasing almost incessantly since the early parts of May and are at record high levels across the country. Delhi and Kolkata recently became the latest to join a long list of cities where petrol prices have touched three-digit figures. Among the major metropolitan cities, Mumbai is still the place where petrol is the costliest. On Monday, a litre of the fuel here was at 107.20 while diesel is inching close to a century and is at 97.29.
