WTI crude is also up 2.2% at 72.25 USD today. Retails petrol prices in Mumbai have crossed the 90/- mark. 10 more to go and we can celebrate a century. Hows it in Surat?
The meters at the petrol pumps aren't equipped to handle rate more than Rs. 99.99; so we can be sure that the petrol prices won't visit Rs. 100 in a hurry :D

Hahaha. I know. Just say someone ordered those meters to be tweaked in view of upcoming 2019 elections. Cant be loosing on home turf you see!! :p
 
Btw on serious note, months ago OPEC and Russia had informally decided that $90 is a fair level for crude and were working towards it. China, US and Iran have only accelerated the process.

Also a few weeks back, Kaushik Basu also suggested that rupee depreciation is desirable and may be it is being done deliberately (non intervention), because rupee has been strengthening in real terms. 72-73 is where it will stabalise, as per him.
