In Hyderabad, Petrol is costing around Rs 98 per litre. The rates of fuel are going up on a daily basis and the lockdown is going on, as usual with no proper employment to the common man.
The Telangana Government has exempted the petrol bunks from the Lockdown. It looks like the state and central government are making money by hiking the fuel rates on a daily basis.
Petrol and diesel prices hit record highs across the country after rates were increased for the sixth time in a week, following which Maharashtra joined Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh in the league of states where petrol rates breached the Rs 100-a-litre mark.
Petrol in Parbhani was priced at Rs 100.20 a litre, while in Bhopal it is at Rs 99.55 a litre.
Petrol price was hiked by 26 paise a litre and diesel by 33 paise per litre, according to a price notification by state-owned fuel retailers.
This was the sixth increase in prices since May 4, when the state-owned oil firms ended an 18-hiatus in rate revision during assembly elections in states like West Bengal.
This is the second time this year since February that rates in some parts have crossed the Rs 100-a litre mark.
