Petrol and diesel prices remain an important part of the daily budget for millions of motorists across India. Before heading to a fuel station, consumers may want to check the latest rates in their city, as retail prices can differ considerably from one location to another.

According to the rates mentioned in the latest update, fuel prices have remained unchanged. While domestic retail rates are steady, crude oil prices in the international market continue to fluctuate.

Petrol and diesel prices are not identical across India. Differences in state-level taxes, including VAT and other local levies, can result in motorists paying different prices depending on where they purchase fuel.

Here is a look at the petrol and diesel rates mentioned for several major cities.

Petrol and Diesel Prices in Major Cities

In the national capital, petrol is priced at ₹102.12 per litre, while diesel costs ₹95.20 per litre.

Mumbai continues to have comparatively higher fuel prices, with petrol listed at ₹111.21 per litre and diesel at ₹97.83 per litre.

In Kolkata, petrol is priced at ₹113.47 per litre, while diesel is available at ₹99.82 per litre.

Chennai motorists are paying ₹107.87 per litre for petrol and ₹99.66 per litre for diesel, according to the rates provided.

Fuel Prices From Chandigarh to Jaipur

Prices also vary considerably across other state capitals and major cities.

Among the cities included in this update, Hyderabad has petrol priced at ₹115.73 per litre and diesel at ₹103.82 per litre. In Jaipur, petrol stands at ₹112.89 per litre, while diesel is listed at ₹97.98 per litre.

Chandigarh, meanwhile, has petrol at ₹101.54 per litre and diesel at ₹89.47 per litre.

Why Do Petrol and Diesel Prices Differ Between Cities?

One reason motorists can see different fuel prices across the country is the variation in taxes and local charges.

Petrol and diesel prices at the retail level can be influenced by several components, and state-level taxation means the amount paid at a fuel station in one city may differ from the price in another.

This is why consumers travelling between cities or states may notice a change in the amount they pay per litre even when there has been no broad revision in fuel rates.

Petrol and Diesel Rates Remain Unchanged

According to the supplied update, oil marketing companies have not announced a change in petrol and diesel prices, meaning consumers continue to pay the prevailing rates.

Motorists should nevertheless check the latest city-specific price before filling their tanks because local rates can differ.

The fuel-rate update refers to major oil marketing companies, including Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum, which publish retail fuel prices.

Crude Oil Prices Continue to Fluctuate

Even as domestic petrol and diesel rates remain steady in the supplied update, the international crude oil market has continued to move.

According to the figures cited in the report, Brent crude was trading at around $98.53 per barrel on the morning of September 23, 2026. The report states that it had previously been around $101.73 per barrel.

This indicates a decline compared with the earlier level mentioned in the source.

However, movements in international crude oil prices do not necessarily translate into an immediate or equivalent change in petrol and diesel prices at Indian fuel stations.

Check Your City's Rate Before Refuelling

For motorists, particularly those who regularly travel long distances, even small differences in fuel prices can affect monthly expenses.

The rates listed above provide a snapshot of the prices mentioned for major cities in the latest update. Since petrol and diesel rates can vary by location, consumers should confirm the current price applicable to their city or fuel station before refuelling.

For now, according to the supplied update, petrol and diesel prices remain unchanged, even as international crude oil prices continue to fluctuate.
