Bhubaneswar: Petrol and diesel prices remained unchanged across the four metros of the country for more than 100 days on March 2.

Among the four metro cities, fuel rates are the highest in Mumbai, according to the state-run oil refiner. Fuel rates vary across the states due to value-added tax or VAT.
