Bengaluru: After Mumbai and Hyderabad, Bengaluru became the third metropolitan city in the country where Diesel prices had shot through a sign of 100 rupees.
Diesel prices in the city touched a record RS 100 / Liter, up from Rs 64.4 / Liter in March 2020, an increase of rs 35.6 in 19 months.
Meanwhile, the price of gasoline is Rs 109.1 / Liter here on Saturday.
On Saturday, one liter of diesel costs RS 102.8 in Hyderabad, Rs 102.1 in Mumbai, Rs 98.6 in Chennai, RS 97.3 in Kolkata and Rs 94.2 in New Delhi.
In Karnataka, Diesel is valued above Rs 101 per liter in districts such as Bellari, Chitradurga, Davangere, Kodagu, Koppal, Shivamogga and Yadgir.
OMC revised fuel prices every day based on the price of global products and dollar exchange rates.
Fuel prices are also determined by shipping costs and purification, profit margins of oil marketing companies, dealer commissions, central tasks such as excise, and state assignments such as VAT and other taxes.
The truck driver said the price of diesel prices would result in an important and non-essential commodity price surge, especially during the festival season.
Many taxi and bus drivers and state transportation (SUS) also face a gloomy future.
