“Fuel costs in Mumbai have been on the ascent for over four months. Yet, neither the state government nor the Center has effectively cap them.

“Petroleum and diesel costs have contacted record highs on Saturday. The public authority is thoroughly hard to the situation of the normal residents and the street transport area which is consistently at the less than desirable end with even little flood in costs. 

It has been capable that the public authority, during political race season, puts a stop on any value climbs, and it ought to re-try that now when expansion is at an untouched high, crushing the family spending plans and coming down on the monetary suitability of little administrators. 

The public authority ought to truly consider including the [fuel] items under GST,” said Bal Malkit Singh, administrator, All India Motor Transport Congress (AIMTC).
