Motorists who drive diesel vehicles should still check the latest local rate before refuelling, particularly when travelling between cities or states, as retail prices can differ by location.

Why Do Petrol and Diesel Prices Differ Across Cities?

Even when there is no major nationwide revision, petrol and diesel prices can vary considerably from one city to another.

Retail fuel prices are influenced by multiple components, including the base price of fuel, central and state-level taxes, dealer commissions and transportation-related costs. Differences in local taxation are one of the reasons consumers may pay different prices for the same quantity of fuel in different states or cities.

International crude oil prices and currency movements can also influence the broader fuel-pricing environment.

Check the Latest Rate Before Refuelling

For September 29, 2026, the broader picture remains one of stability across several major cities, although motorists in places such as Begusarai and Bhagalpur have received some relief through small reductions in petrol prices.

With petrol at ₹111.21 per litre and diesel at ₹97.83 per litre in Mumbai, and petrol at ₹102.12 in New Delhi, fuel costs continue to differ substantially across locations.

Since prices can be revised and local rates may differ, motorists should verify the price applicable in their city or at their nearest fuel station before filling their vehicle's tank.
