So far in June, the auto fuel prices have been raised on only one occasion, however, they were hiked 16 times in May after oil marketing companies (OMCs) resumed their price revisions ending an 18-day hiatus that coincided with the assembly elections in key states.
Following the recent hikes in the past one month, petrol prices have already crossed the Rs 100-mark in several cities in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. Bhopal became the first state capital to have petrol hit the three-figure mark followed by Jaipur and Mumbai.
Fuel prices in the country differ from state to state depending on the local taxation (VAT) and freight charges. Apart from this, the central government charges an excise duty on auto fuels.
