Petrol and diesel rates released for today: Find out how prices have changed.
Before visiting a fuel station, it is important to know the current rates for petrol and diesel in your city, as retail prices vary across different states and cities.
India's oil marketing companies have released petrol and diesel prices for September 20, 2026. Motorists are advised to check the latest rates in their city before heading to a fuel station, as retail prices differ across states and even between neighboring cities.
India's oil marketing companies have released petrol and diesel prices for September 21, 2026. State-owned oil marketing companies like IOCL, BPCL, and HPCL announce new prices every morning at 6 AM, ensuring that fluctuations in the global market are immediately reflected in the domestic market. Since India imports approximately 85% of its crude oil requirements, global crude oil prices and the strength or weakness of the rupee against the dollar impact domestic fuel prices—a matter directly linked to the common man's budget.
