India fuel prices remain stable despite rising crude oil costs

Petrol and diesel prices in major Indian cities remained stable as of late October 2026, despite international crude oil prices reaching significant highs. Brent crude surpassed $116 per barrel, and WTI crude rose above $103 per barrel.

While petrol and diesel rates held steady in cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata, CNG prices saw increases in several regions. In Mumbai, CNG rose by ₹1 to ₹89 per kg, while Chennai saw a ₹2 increase to ₹99.50 per kg. Bengaluru and Mathura also reported higher CNG costs. Hyderabad maintains the highest CNG rate at ₹112 per kg.

Fuel price variations across different Indian cities continue to be driven by local taxes and regional charges. For example, petrol in Delhi is priced at ₹102.12 per liter, whereas in Hyderabad, it reaches ₹115.69 per liter.
