There has been massive increase in diesel prices, which is why, metro cities and other state capitals have touched record highs, especially Mumbai, where it stood over Rs 70 per litre mark.  Meanwhile, international crude oil prices dipped as rising US rig count pointed to further increase in the country`s output, underlining one of only a few factors holding back crude markets in an otherwise bullish environment.
