Diesel price on Saturday breached the Rs 100-per-litre mark in Rajasthan after yet another increase in fuel rates, which also led to Karnataka becoming the 7th state to sell petrol at Rs 100 a litre.

The price of petrol was raised by 27 paise per litre and diesel by 23 paise.

The hike — 23rd since May 4 — pushed fuel prices across the country to new highs.

In Delhi, petrol hit an all-time high of Rs 96.12 a litre, while diesel is now priced at Rs 86.98 per litre.

In Calcutta, petrol is being sold at Rs 96.06 per litre and diesel at Rs 89.83 per litre.

Fuel prices differ from state to state depending on the incidence of local taxes.
