Petrol and diesel prices on Friday rallied to their highest ever levels across the country, as fuel rates were hiked again by 35 paise a litre. The price of petrol in Delhi rose to its highest-ever level of Rs 105.14 a litre and Rs 111.09 per litre in Mumbai. Diesel now costs Rs 101.78 a litre in Mumbai and Rs 93.87 in Delhi.

This is the second straight day of 35 paise per litre increase in petrol and diesel prices. Since the ending of a three-week-long hiatus in rate revision in the last week of September, this is the 14th increase in petrol price and the 17th time that diesel rates have gone up.
