Fuel Prices Hold Steady in India’s Major Metros

Indian consumers continue to experience stagnant fuel prices, as petrol and diesel rates remain unchanged on April 18. Despite previous hopes of price relief, a recent hike in excise duty has dampened expectations for any immediate reduction.

According to the latest data, petrol prices in key metro cities have surpassed ₹100 per litre in many regions, while diesel remains above ₹90 in several locations. These rates have remained stable for over a year now, with the last revision occurring in March 2024.

City-Wise Petrol and Diesel Prices as of April 18

• Delhi: Petrol ₹94.72, Diesel ₹87.62

• Mumbai: Petrol ₹103.40, Diesel ₹89.97

• Kolkata: Petrol ₹103.94, Diesel ₹90.76

• Chennai: Petrol ₹100.85, Diesel ₹92.44

• Bengaluru: Petrol ₹102.86, Diesel ₹91.02

• Lucknow: Petrol ₹94.65, Diesel ₹87.76

With crude oil prices showing volatility globally, Indian oil marketing companies (OMCs) are holding domestic rates steady, possibly to manage inflationary pressures.

When Was the Last Price Change?

The last significant price revision came in March 2024, when fuel prices were reduced by ₹2 per litre for both petrol and diesel. Since then, prices have remained unchanged, despite fluctuations in international crude markets and domestic tax adjustments.
