Petrol-Diesel Prices Today (July 18, 2026): There is welcome news for motorists across the country. Retail prices for petrol and diesel remain unchanged on July 18, 2026. State-owned oil marketing companies have kept fuel prices stable for yet another day, offering consumers some relief amidst rising inflation. Although crude oil prices in the international market continue to fluctuate, this has not yet impacted domestic retail prices. While new rates are usually released daily at 6 AM, prices remain unchanged today.

City-wise petrol and diesel prices:

City Petrol Price (per Liter) Diesel Price (per Liter)
Delhi ₹102.12 ₹95.20
Mumbai ₹111.21 ₹97.83
Kolkata ₹113.51 ₹99.82
Bengaluru ₹110.93 ₹98.80
Chennai ₹107.77 ₹99.55

Chandigarh ₹101.51 ₹89.47
Hyderabad ₹115.69 ₹103.82
Bhubaneswar ₹108.97 ₹100.68

Why haven't prices changed today?

In India, petrol and diesel prices depend on several factors, including the price of crude oil in the international market, the rupee's exchange rate against the dollar, freight costs, and taxes levied by both central and state governments. Despite recent volatility in global crude oil prices, oil companies have not altered retail prices for the time being.

Prices to be updated at 6 AM

State-owned oil companies release new petrol and diesel rates every day at 6 AM. If there is a price revision, the new rates come into effect immediately.

What to expect in the coming days?

Petrol and diesel prices could change in the near future if there is a significant surge or drop in international crude oil prices or a shift in the rupee's exchange rate.
