As of April 29, 2026, petrol prices in India show considerable regional variation, with rates ranging from ₹82.46 per litre in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands to ₹107.46 in Hyderabad. Major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata report prices of ₹94.77, ₹103.54, and ₹105.45 per litre, respectively. This disparity is largely due to state-level taxes and transportation costs, as fuel is not included under the Goods and Services Tax but rather subject to state-specific value-added tax rates. Despite recent geopolitical tensions in West Asia, which have led to increased global oil prices, a senior government official confirmed there are no plans to raise petrol or diesel prices following the polling in West Bengal. The dynamic fuel pricing system in India, implemented since June 2017, allows for daily adjustments based on global market trends, crude oil prices, and local demand conditions.
