Petrol crosses Rs 91/l, diesel at Rs 80 in Maharashtra


Mumbai, Sep 24 (IANS): Petrol retail rates finally breached the Rs 90 mark in Mumbai by touching Rs 90.08 per litre here on Monday, but stood much higher elsewhere in the state, industry officials said.

Federation of Maharashtra Petroleum Dealers Association (FAMPEDA) President Uday Lodh said that the new rate became effective after a hike of 11 paise effected on Monday.

Parbhani District Petrol Dealers Association (PDPDA) President Sanjay Deshmukh said the petrol rates soared to Rs 91.91 in the districts.

The highest petrol prices logged in various cities included: Nanded Rs 91.61, Amravati Rs 91.31, Ratnagiri Rs 91.14 and Jalgaon Rs 91.01, said Lodh.

Similarly, diesel prices also shot up by five paise per litre in Parbhani where it sold at Rs 79.15, said Deshmukh.

However, Aurangabad notched the highest prices when diesel crossed the Rs 80 mark and retailed on Monday at Rs 80.53 per litre, followed by Amravati at Rs 79.90 and Solapur at Rs 79.25.

An official said that there was no fall in demand with the festival season currently on, and the upward trend was likely to continue for some time.

    Petrol price hike will not effect all the people at once .every body not paying out 90 rs per liter at once.but trapped in such jumlas indirectly.end of the month when looks in to the pocket just empty and clueless.

    Because everybody not using vehicles or two wheeler for self drive or ride to reach offices or any work.But illiterate people must understand due to the hike in petrol price.Transporation cost will be increased for goods and services.Once transporation cost increased each and every item's hike guaranteed. We can call it as deciplinary and legal loot.and still people cluless and will vote for BJP.

    Soon BJP will hit century. Unheard of progress in 70 years, BJP made it in 4 years. He needs many terms full of hundreds of foreign trips. We pay for the trips and salary for the traveler. Safe journey. Keep your belts fastened as we have taken off and we are making steady progress and turbulent weather is guaranteed.

    Here is one more eye opener for bhakths by their own greatest economist Dr Subramanian Swamy who says 'Falling rupee is due to rise in black money' . So much for FAKE claims of demonetization.
