Crude oil prices in the international market have been volatile recently. Despite this, there has been no significant change in petrol and diesel prices in the Indian market so far. However, prices vary across states due to differences in taxes and VAT.

What is the status of crude oil?

In the global market, Brent crude is trading around $86 per barrel, while WTI crude remains above $82 per barrel. The oil market is under pressure due to tensions in the Middle East and concerns regarding supply.

Today's petrol and diesel rates in major cities—

City Petrol (Per Litre) Diesel (Per Litre)

Why do rates differ from city to city?

While the base price of petrol and diesel is roughly the same, VAT, local taxes, and transportation costs vary by state. This is why fuel prices differ across cities.

Will petrol and diesel become cheaper?

All eyes are currently on international crude oil prices. If there is a significant drop in crude oil prices, petrol and diesel rates could decrease in the near future. However, companies have not yet signaled any major price cuts.
