KOLKATA: With the price of a litre of petrol inching towards the 100-rupee mark, fuel stations across the city are seeking new electronic display panels that accommodate five digits, without which the maximum price that can be currently shown correctly is Rs 99.99.
The last time such a change was necessary was back in October 1990, when fuel prices had first breached single digits to clock Rs 12.23 after a Rs 2.39 increase.
In Kolkata, the price of a litre of high-octane petrol has already pushed beyond the 100-rupee mark, even as that of the regular variety is set to follow suit any day now.

Saibal Ghosh, the owner of a fast-food centre in Behala, said a year ago, making a plate of mixed fried rice would cost him around Rs 85-90, including the overhead expenses. Now, making the same dish costs him around Rs 115-120.
“There has been a 30 per cent rise in the production cost. From vegetables to chicken to eggs and prawn, everything has become costlier. But I have not been able to increase my price because that would further reduce the already dipping footfall,” said Ghosh.
