Petrol is retailing at Rs 101.52 in Mumbai while diesel is selling for Rs 93.58 a litre after Oil Marketing Companies hiked fuel prices by up to 28 paise on Monday.
In the national capital, petrol was selling at Rs 95.31 and diesel at Rs 86.22.
This is the 21st hike since May 4 when the OMCs began increasing the price after an 18-day pause.
The continuous spike in fuel prices is on the back of firming up of crude oil prices as the global economy is expected to witness a resurgence of demand and as the oil glut dwindles.
Rajasthan levies the highest VAT on petrol and diesel in the country, followed by Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Mumbai on May 29 became the first metro in the country where petrol was being sold at over Rs 100-a-litre mark. Petrol now costs Rs 101.3 per litre in the city and diesel comes for Rs 93.35.
