In May, Bhopal was the first state capital where petrol crossed the three-figure mark followed by Jaipur and Mumbai. Hyderabad and Bengaluru also joined this list of states last week where petrol has touched the psychological landmark.

Fuel prices vary from state to state due to differences in local taxes such as VAT and freight charges. Currently, Rajasthan imposes the highest value-added tax (VAT) on petrol, followed by Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.

Rates of petrol and diesel are daily revised by oil companies based on the average price of benchmark fuel in the international market in the preceding 15 days, and foreign exchange rates.
