Petrol price was hiked by 29 paise in Mumbai, as it touched Rs 108.96 for a litre and diesel spiked by 27 paise to cost Rs 99.17 for a litre in the financial capital.

The relentless increase in fuel prices has been criticised by opposition parties who have demanded that the government cut record excise duty on the two fuels to give relief to consumers.

The government has so far not agreed to the demand.
