On April 25, 2026, petrol and diesel prices in India remained unchanged, with petrol priced at ₹94.72 per litre in New Delhi and diesel at ₹87.62 per litre. This stability comes amid significant fluctuations in global oil markets due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly involving Iran, Israel, and the United States. The ongoing conflict has raised concerns about potential disruptions to oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital energy route. Despite these challenges, Indian authorities have indicated that retail prices will remain stable for the time being, as oil marketing companies (OMCs) absorb some of the volatility to protect consumers from sudden price shocks. The Indian government has implemented tax reductions since May 2022, contributing to the current price stability. However, premium fuel prices have recently seen increases, with IndianOil's XP100 petrol rising by ₹11 to ₹160 per litre.
