Petrol Diesel Price Today: Petrol and diesel prices in India are updated every day at 6 am. State-owned oil companies (IOC, HPCL, and BPCL) release new rates based on international crude oil prices and the rupee-dollar exchange rate. According to the latest rates released on Monday, October 6, 2025, there has been no major change in fuel prices for the past several weeks.

Although the international crude oil market continues to fluctuate, a relief for Indian consumers is that petrol and diesel prices remain stable. Let's find out what the current rates of petrol and diesel are in major cities across the country, and why prices vary across locations.

Why are prices different?

Fuel prices are not uniform across India. There are several economic and administrative reasons behind this.

Rupee vs Dollar Exchange Rate: India purchases approximately 85% of its crude oil from abroad. A stronger dollar makes imports more expensive, leading to higher prices of petrol and diesel.

Government Taxes and Duties: The central and state governments impose different rates of tax on petrol and diesel. This is why prices vary in Delhi, Mumbai, or Jaipur.

Refining and Transportation Costs: The costs incurred in converting crude oil into fuel and transporting it across the country also affect prices.

Demand and Supply: Rates may fluctuate slightly during festivals, seasonal changes, or increased demand due to industrial activity.

Why have prices remained stable for the past two years?

In May 2022, the central government and several states reduced taxes on petrol and diesel. Fuel rates have remained stable since then. Despite fluctuations in international oil prices, Indian consumers have not experienced significant price fluctuations. This stability not only provides relief to the general public but also helps control inflation in the transportation and logistics sector.

What does this mean for consumers and investors?

Fuel price stability helps control inflation and provides relief to consumers. However, experts say that if there is a sudden surge in international crude oil prices or a weakening of the rupee, prices could be impacted in the future.
