On April 30, 2026, petrol and diesel prices in India remained stable, with only minor adjustments in cities like Patna, Chennai, and Bhubaneswar. Despite ongoing volatility in global crude oil markets, domestic fuel rates have seen limited changes, attributed to state-run oil marketing companies absorbing losses from the gap between global crude prices and domestic retail rates. Political figures, including Rahul Gandhi (Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha), have criticized the government, suggesting that consumers may face higher prices soon. However, a senior official from the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas stated that there are currently no proposals to increase fuel prices. The global oil market remains tense due to geopolitical issues, particularly in the Middle East, affecting supply and contributing to fluctuating prices.
