Petrol price soared past Rs 100-a-litre mark in Bihar after fuel prices were hiked again on Sunday on the back of a surge in international oil rates.

In Patna, petrol now comes for Rs 100.47 a litre and diesel is priced at Rs 94.24 a litre. Among metro cities, petrol is already above Rs 100 in Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru. In Mumbai, petrol now costs Rs 104.56 a litre and diesel comes for Rs 96.42.
