As of April 5, 2026, petrol and diesel prices in India have remained stable despite fluctuations in global oil prices, which are currently around $109 per barrel due to ongoing geopolitical tensions in West Asia. The Indian government and oil marketing companies (OMCs) are working to absorb price volatility to prevent sudden increases for consumers. Major cities report the following prices: New Delhi at ₹94.72 for petrol and ₹87.62 for diesel, while Mumbai sees prices at ₹104.21 and ₹92.15 respectively. Despite the stability in retail prices, premium petrol saw a significant increase of ₹11 per litre, raising its price to ₹160. The increase in premium fuel prices reflects the pressure on margins due to elevated crude oil costs. Consumers are encouraged to check current fuel prices via SMS services provided by major oil companies, ensuring they stay informed without needing to visit fuel stations.
