The maximum rate Chennai has seen was in 2013 when the rate was Rs 79.55. Today that record was smashed as the petrol prices surged to a whopping Rs 79.79.

 

As of Monday, the nation saw the eighth consecutive hike in petrol and diesel prices in the four metropolitan cities - Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai. Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has reportedly assured that the government will take steps to maintain the prices.
