NDTV’s fuel tracker listed petrol at ₹102.12 per litre in New Delhi, ₹111.21 in Mumbai City, ₹113.51 in Kolkata and ₹108.01 in Chennai. 2

Petrol and Diesel Price Today in Major Cities

Petrol Price Today in Delhi

Delhi petrol price today is around ₹102.12 per litre, while diesel is around ₹95.20 per litre. Delhi usually has a lower fuel price than Mumbai and Kolkata because local taxes and levies differ from state to state.

For regular office commuters, even a stable petrol price can feel expensive when monthly travel is high. For example, if your vehicle consumes 40 litres of petrol a month in Delhi, your approximate monthly petrol cost at ₹102.12 per litre would be around ₹4,085.

---

Petrol Price Today in Mumbai

Mumbai petrol price today is around ₹111.21 per litre, making it one of the higher-priced metro markets. Diesel is around ₹97.83 per litre in Mumbai City. 2

Mumbai drivers often feel the fuel burden more because of traffic, longer commute times and stop-and-go driving. If your car gives lower mileage in city traffic, the real monthly petrol cost becomes higher than the simple per-litre rate suggests.

---

Petrol Price Today in Kolkata

Kolkata petrol price today is around ₹113.51 per litre, while diesel is around ₹99.82 per litre. Among the four major metros listed in the latest tracker, Kolkata has the highest petrol rate. 2

This is why comparing city-wise petrol prices is useful. A person travelling between states may notice that the same quantity of fuel costs more or less depending on where they refill.

---

Petrol Price Today in Chennai

Chennai petrol price today is around ₹108.01 per litre, and diesel is around ₹99.66 per litre. 2

For two-wheeler users, this rate may still be manageable in small daily quantities. But for cab drivers, delivery workers and families using cars daily, the monthly fuel bill can become a major household expense.

Why Petrol Prices Differ Across Indian Cities

Many readers ask one simple question: if petrol is the same product, why is the price different in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata?

The answer is that the final retail selling price includes several cost layers.

Main reasons for city-wise petrol price differences

• Crude oil import cost
• Refining and transportation cost
• Dealer commission
• Central taxes and duties
• State VAT or local taxes
• Freight and logistics charges
• Local market conditions

BPCL’s Delhi petrol price build-up effective August 1, 2026 showed price charged to dealers at ₹81.12/litre, dealer commission at ₹4.41/litre and VAT at ₹16.59/litre, resulting in a rounded retail selling price of ₹102.12/litre. 4

This clearly shows why tax and dealer commission matter. The price you pay at the pump is not just the crude oil cost.

How Petrol Price Is Updated in India

Petrol prices in India follow a dynamic pricing system. Earlier, fuel prices were revised every fortnight, but under the current system, rates are revised every morning. Indian Oil states that daily price changes for petrol and diesel are effected at 6 AM. 1

Factors that influence petrol price

Petrol price today can be affected by:

• International crude oil prices
• Rupee-dollar exchange rate
• Freight and refining costs
• Dealer commission
• Central and state taxes
• Oil marketing company pricing decisions
• Global supply risks and geopolitical events

However, changes in crude oil do not always immediately reflect at petrol pumps. In July 2026, Livemint reported that Brent crude fluctuations had no immediate impact on domestic petrol and diesel prices, as state-run OMCs continued to determine domestic fuel rates. 5

Recent Petrol Price Trend in India

Fuel prices saw major movement in May 2026 after a long period of stability. Upstox reported that petrol and diesel prices were hiked by ₹3 per litre on May 15, 2026, after state-owned oil companies ended a long pause in rate revision. 6

Later, another increase pushed petrol in Delhi to ₹102.12 per litre and diesel to ₹95.20 per litre. Livemint reported that the May 25 revision was the fourth hike in less than two weeks, taking the cumulative increase to around ₹7.5 per litre across major cities. 7

For consumers, this means petrol prices can remain stable for weeks and then move sharply when companies revise rates.

Is Petrol Under GST in India?

Petrol and diesel are not fully under GST in the same way as many other goods and services. The government has stated that petroleum products are constitutionally included under GST, but the date for levying GST on them depends on the GST Council’s recommendation. 8

This is one reason fuel prices vary by state. Since state taxes remain important in the final price, petrol in one city can be much costlier than another.

How Petrol Price Affects Your Monthly Budget

Petrol price today may look like just one daily number, but it directly affects household expenses.

Petrol price affects:

• Daily office commute
• School and college travel
• Taxi and cab fares
• Delivery charges
• Food and grocery transportation

Should You Fill Full Tank Today?

If petrol price is stable in your city, filling a full tank is mainly a convenience decision. But if you expect another price hike, filling early may save some money.

However, avoid panic buying. Fuel prices are officially updated daily, and rates may stay unchanged for several days or weeks. Always compare the current rate, your travel needs and your monthly budget before deciding.
