On May 15, 2026, petrol and diesel prices were raised across various cities in India, reflecting the impact of rising global crude oil prices and ongoing supply concerns linked to the West Asia crisis. Petrol prices surged by up to ₹3.60 per litre, while diesel saw increases of up to ₹3.56 per litre. In New Delhi, petrol now costs ₹97.77 per litre, and diesel is priced at ₹90.67 per litre. Mumbai residents will pay ₹106.64 per litre for petrol, an increase of ₹3.10, while diesel rose to ₹93.14 per litre. The latest hike marks the first increase in fuel prices since May 2022, as state-run oil marketing companies grapple with significant under-recoveries due to elevated input costs. Notably, Hyderabad recorded the highest petrol price at ₹110.89 per litre, while Thiruvananthapuram had the highest diesel price at ₹99.63 per litre. Chandigarh remains the most affordable city for petrol at ₹97.27 per litre and for diesel at ₹85.25 per litre.
