As of April 6, 2026, petrol and diesel prices in India have remained stable despite significant fluctuations in global oil markets driven by ongoing tensions in the Middle East, particularly the conflict involving Iran and the United States. Brent crude oil prices are around $109 per barrel, raising concerns about potential disruptions in oil supply through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global oil shipments. In major Indian cities, petrol prices are as follows: New Delhi at ₹94.72 per litre, Mumbai at ₹104.21, and Kolkata at ₹103.94. Despite the volatility, the Indian government has indicated that fuel prices will not change in the near term, as oil marketing companies are absorbing some of the market fluctuations to shield consumers from sudden price increases. However, the price of premium petrol has seen a sharp increase, rising by ₹11 to ₹160 per litre, prompting discussions about potential future hikes in regular fuel prices if international crude prices continue to rise.
