Petrol Prices Today: Check Petrol & Diesel Rates in Your City

Fuel prices across India remained largely stable today, offering temporary relief to consumers despite ongoing volatility in global crude oil markets. Both petrol and diesel rates continue to be revised daily by oil marketing companies based on international crude prices and currency fluctuations.

If you’re planning to refuel today, here’s a detailed look at the latest updates and what’s influencing fuel prices.

 Fuel Prices in Major Cities (Per Litre)

Here’s how prices stand in key metros:

• New Delhi – Petrol: Around ₹96 | Diesel: Around ₹89

• Mumbai – Petrol: Above ₹106 | Diesel: Around ₹94

• Chennai – Petrol: Around ₹102 | Diesel: Around ₹94

• Kolkata – Petrol: Around ₹106 | Diesel: Around ₹92

(Note: Prices may vary slightly depending on local taxes and dealer commissions.)

Why Are Fuel Prices Different in Each City?

Petrol and diesel prices differ from city to city due to:

• State VAT (Value Added Tax)

• Local transportation costs

• Dealer commissions

• Municipal taxes

Since fuel is not fully under GST, state taxes significantly impact the final retail price.

What Is Affecting Fuel Prices Now?

Several factors influence daily fuel rate movements:

1. Global crude oil prices – International benchmark rates directly affect India’s import cost.

2. Rupee vs US Dollar – A weaker rupee makes crude imports more expensive.

3. Geopolitical tensions – Global conflicts can push crude prices higher.

4. Government excise duties – Central and state tax decisions impact retail rates.

Even though crude prices have shown fluctuations recently, domestic fuel prices have remained unchanged in many cities due to price stabilization measures.

You can easily check real-time petrol and diesel rates through:
