The petrol prices in most of the states across India have already crossed the Rs 100 mark, while the diesel prices in most states remain just below Rs 100.
The states where the diesel prices have crossed the Rs 100 mark are Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Chattisgarh, Bihar, Kerala, Karnataka and Ladakh.
Difference in the price of petrol and diesel in the states varies due to the tax and the cost of transportation imposed by the central and state government.
Meanwhile, the country’s soaring fuel prices are unlikely to be reversed very soon. The central government is in talks with a number of oil-exporting countries about oil supply and demand, but there is no chance of fast price relief.
