In a continuing trend of rising fuel prices, petrol and diesel underwent their fourth increase in just ten days on May 25, 2026, with an average hike of ₹2.80 per litre. This adjustment has pushed the price of petrol in Delhi to ₹102.12 per litre and diesel to ₹95.20 per litre. The recent changes followed a series of increases that began on May 15, which included a ₹3 hike, and subsequent increases of 90 paise on both May 19 and May 23. The latest adjustments have resulted in cumulative increases of nearly ₹7.5 per litre since the price revisions resumed after a prolonged freeze. The price variations across major cities are notable: in Mumbai, petrol is now priced at ₹111.21 and diesel at ₹97.83; Kolkata's prices stand at ₹113.51 for petrol and ₹99.82 for diesel; while in Chennai, petrol costs ₹107.77 and diesel ₹99.55. These increases reflect ongoing fluctuations in fuel pricing that impact consumers nationwide.
