Prices remain stable in most cities today, with no major changes announced. However, crude oil prices in the international market continue to fluctuate. Despite this, the general public still has to wait for any relief regarding petrol and diesel prices.

What is the situation with crude oil?

There is volatility in crude oil prices in the global market. Experts state that fluctuations in oil prices are persisting due to supply factors and global developments. However, this has not yet impacted the rates set by state-owned oil companies.

Why do rates vary by city?

While the base price of petrol and diesel is roughly the same, fuel prices differ across cities due to variations in state-levied VAT, local taxes, freight charges, and dealer commissions.

Will fuel prices drop?

Recently, the private company Nayara Energy reduced the price of petrol by ₹5 and diesel by ₹3 per litre. However, state-owned oil companies have not yet cut their rates. Consequently, public attention is now focused on when Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) might offer relief on prices.
