Synopsis
Petrol and diesel prices today across India, with state wise and city wise fuel rates, cheapest and costliest prices and latest petrol diesel updates.
Petrol and diesel prices remained largely unchanged across major Indian cities on September 4, 2026. However, fuel prices continue to vary widely between states because of differences in taxes and other local costs.
Petrol was cheapest in Andaman and Nicobar Islands at ₹88.66 per litre, while the highest state level rate was in Andhra Pradesh at ₹117.46 per litre. For diesel, Andaman and Nicobar Islands had the lowest rate at ₹84.56 per litre, while Andhra Pradesh had the highest at ₹105.14 per litre.
The price at a petrol pump includes the cost of fuel, central taxes, state taxes and the dealer's commission. Transport and other local costs can also affect the final price.
Since every state has a different tax structure, petrol and diesel can cost much more in one state than another. Fuel prices are generally revised daily, with new rates taking effect around 6 am.
Petrol prices showed a wide gap across states on September 4. The lowest state level price was ₹88.66 per litre in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, while Andhra Pradesh had the highest at ₹117.46 per litre.

Cheapest petrol: Andaman and Nicobar Islands at ₹88.66 per litre.
Costliest state level petrol: Andhra Pradesh at ₹117.46 per litre.
The gap between the two is ₹28.80 per litre. On a 50 litre fill, this would mean a difference of about ₹1,440 between the two state level rates.
Cheapest diesel: Andaman and Nicobar Islands at ₹84.56 per litre.
Costliest state level diesel: Andhra Pradesh at ₹105.14 per litre.
The difference is ₹20.58 per litre, which works out to about ₹1,029 for a 50 litre fill.
The main reason is the difference in state taxes. Petrol and diesel are outside the GST system, so states apply their own taxes to these fuels.
This means the same fuel can have a very different retail price depending on where it is sold. Transport costs and differences between cities or districts can also affect the final pump price.
Global crude oil prices are currently under pressure from rising tensions in the Middle East. However, petrol and diesel prices in major Indian cities remained largely unchanged on September 4.
If crude prices remain high for a longer period, the market will watch whether higher international oil costs eventually put pressure on domestic fuel prices.
Consumers should check the latest city or petrol pump rate before filling up because prices can vary by location and may change with daily revisions.
