Fuel prices in India today: Check rates in your city
Petrol and diesel prices across India barely budged on October 12, even though global oil markets have been pretty volatile lately.
In Delhi, petrol is at ₹94.72/liter and diesel at ₹87.62/liter—so no surprises at the pump for now.
Where to get the cheapest and most expensive fuel
Prices do vary depending on where you fill up: Chandigarh has the cheapest petrol at ₹94.30/liter, while Hyderabad tops out at ₹107.46/liter.
For diesel, Chandigarh is the lowest at ₹82.45/liter, but Hyderabad hits a high of ₹95.70/liter.
Why have fuel prices remained unchanged for over 3 years?
Even with all the ups and downs in international crude oil rates and currency values, retail fuel prices have held steady for over three years now.
That's mostly because central and state taxes haven't changed, and Oil Marketing Companies tweak prices daily based on global trends—but these tweaks haven't made much difference for most cities lately.
