In Kolkata, petrol costs Rs 103.65 per litre, up 29 paise, and diesel Rs 94.53 per litre. Petrol price now stands at Rs 100.49 per litre in Chennai, up 26 paise, and diesel Rs 95.93, up 34 paise.

The recent hikes have sent petrol prices above Rs 100 in most major cities of the country.

The relentless increase in fuel prices has been criticised by opposition parties who have demanded that the government cut record excise duty on the two fuels to give relief to consumers.

The government has so far not agreed to the demand.
