On Saturday, there is no change in the petrol and diesel prices in major cities of the country. Oil marketing companies (OMCs) review fuel prices daily, and the rates – new or unchanged – are announced at 6am each day.
Accordingly, if you are in Delhi, you must pay ₹96.72 for a litre of petrol, and ₹89.62 for diesel. In Mumbai, one litre of petrol costs ₹106.31, while an equal quantity of diesel is priced at ₹94.27. In Kolkata, a litre each of petrol and diesel is retailing at ₹106.03 and ₹92.76, respectively. For Chennai, on the other hand, these are at ₹102.63 and ₹94.24 respectively.
Fuel rates, in fact, have been largely constant since May 21 last year, when the previous pan-India revision to these was carried out.
City | Petrol price (per litre) | Diesel price (per litre) |
Ahmedabad | ₹96.42 | ₹92.17 |
Bengaluru | ₹101.94 | ₹87.89 |
Chandigarh | ₹96.20 | ₹84.26 |
Gurugram | ₹97.18 | ₹90.05 |

Also, it must be noted that petrol and diesel prices vary from state-to-state. This is because of factors such as value-added tax (VAT), freight charges, local taxes, etc.
