Petrol and diesel prices are an important part of the daily budget for millions of motorists, especially those who regularly commute by car or two-wheeler. If you are planning to refuel your vehicle today, checking the latest fuel rates before heading to a petrol pump can help you estimate your travel expenses.

Oil marketing companies have released the latest petrol and diesel prices, and motorists have received some relief as rates remain unchanged in several major cities. This comes despite renewed pressure in the international crude oil market, where prices have moved higher.

Rising tensions between the United States and Iran have contributed to volatility in global energy markets. Brent crude has reportedly climbed above the $100-per-barrel level again. However, the increase in international crude prices has not yet resulted in a fresh revision of retail petrol and diesel rates in India.

Petrol and Diesel Prices Remain Steady

Consumers have not seen a new revision in fuel prices today. Petrol and diesel continue to be sold at the prevailing rates across major Indian cities.

Here are the reported petrol and diesel prices:

Fuel prices can differ from one location to another because of factors such as state-level taxes, local levies and transportation costs. Consumers should therefore check the applicable rate in their city before filling their vehicle's tank.

When Were Petrol and Diesel Prices Last Revised?

According to the available information, the last change in petrol and diesel prices took place on May 25, 2026.

Fuel prices had witnessed multiple revisions during May, with oil companies reportedly raising rates four times during the month. Since the last revision, retail prices have remained steady despite fluctuations in international crude oil markets.

This means motorists have so far been protected from the latest increase in global oil prices. However, international crude prices remain an important factor to watch because India imports a substantial part of its crude oil requirement.

Crude Oil Climbs Above $100 Per Barrel

Global crude oil prices have once again moved higher amid geopolitical uncertainty. Renewed tensions between the US and Iran have increased concerns in the international energy market, pushing Brent crude above the $100-per-barrel mark.

A sustained increase in crude prices can make oil imports more expensive for importing countries. Movements in the rupee against the US dollar can also influence the overall cost of imported crude.

However, higher international crude prices do not necessarily translate into an immediate change in petrol and diesel prices at Indian fuel stations. Retail prices depend on multiple components and pricing decisions.

For the moment, motorists can continue to purchase petrol and diesel at the existing rates in the cities listed above.

Why Are Fuel Prices Different Across Cities?

Many consumers wonder why petrol and diesel prices vary significantly between cities. The price paid at a fuel station is not determined solely by the cost of crude oil.

The final retail price includes several components, including the base fuel cost, central taxes, state taxes, dealer commissions and other applicable charges. Differences in taxation and local costs are among the main reasons why motorists may pay different prices for the same fuel in different states or cities.

This is why checking the local price is more useful than relying on a single national-level fuel rate.

What Time Are Petrol and Diesel Rates Updated?

Oil marketing companies generally update petrol and diesel rates every day at 6 am. Consumers can check the latest prices before leaving home through the services provided by fuel retailers.

Customers can also use SMS facilities to check applicable fuel prices.

Indian Oil customers: Send RSP to 9224992249.

BPCL customers: Send RSP to 9223112222.

HPCL customers: Send HPPRICE to 9222201122.

Depending on the service, additional information such as the petrol pump or dealer code may be required to obtain the location-specific rate.

What Should Motorists Watch Next?

Although petrol and diesel prices are currently unchanged, international crude oil prices remain a key factor to monitor. If crude stays above $100 per barrel for an extended period, pressure on oil-importing countries could increase.

Geopolitical developments, global crude supply, demand conditions and currency movements may all influence the fuel market in the coming days.

For consumers, the simplest approach is to check the latest petrol and diesel prices before refuelling, particularly when travelling between cities or states where rates can differ. As of the latest update, however, motorists in major cities have received some relief, with no fresh increase in retail petrol and diesel prices.
