Fuel prices stay steady across India—here's what you need to know
Petrol and diesel prices haven't budged in most major Indian cities, holding steady since May 2022.
In Delhi, petrol is ₹94.72 per liter and diesel is ₹87.62; Mumbai's rates are higher at ₹104.21 for petrol and ₹92.15 for diesel, while Hyderabad tops the charts with petrol at ₹107.46 and diesel at ₹95.70.
Why do prices vary by city?
Fuel costs aren't the same everywhere—Chandigarh has the cheapest rates (petrol at ₹94.30, diesel at ₹82.45).
That's mostly because each state sets its own taxes and logistics costs can differ, so what you pay depends a lot on where you fill up.
What's keeping prices stable?
Even though oil companies adjust fuel prices daily based on global trends and currency rates, government tax policies have kept things steady for now.
This consistency means no surprise jumps or dips—making it a little easier to plan your budget without worrying about sudden fuel price hikes!
