For millions of motorists across the country, petrol and diesel costs constitute a significant part of daily expenses; any fluctuation immediately impacts their budgets. Meanwhile, Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have updated the latest fuel rates for October 5 to keep customers informed about current prices.

Who raised the petrol and diesel prices?
Private oil company Nayara Energy has raised petrol prices by ₹5 per litre and diesel prices by ₹3 per litre across its nationwide network, effective last Saturday, October 3. This move follows a sharp surge in international prices of crude oil and refined petroleum products driven by escalating geopolitical tensions and conflict in West Asia, which is impacting the company's retail profit margins.
