Petrol price gap across India

Fuel	Cheapest	Costliest representative rate	Difference
Petrol	₹88.66	₹115.69	₹27.03/L
Diesel	₹84.56	₹103.82	₹19.26/L

Why petrol and diesel prices differ between states

Crude oil is only one part of the final pump price. Petrol and diesel prices also include refinery related costs, freight, central taxes, dealer commission and state level taxes.

This is why two states buying fuel from the same broader international crude market can have different retail prices. Prices can also vary between cities within the same state because transportation and local distribution costs differ.

Crude oil rises, but Indian fuel prices remain steady

The latest fuel prices come as Brent crude moves close to $100 a barrel, driven by geopolitical tensions and concerns about supply disruptions.

Despite the rise in international crude prices, domestic petrol and diesel rates have remained relatively stable. This is putting pressure on margins of oil marketing companies if elevated crude prices continue.

Location	Petrol	Diesel
Delhi	₹102.12/L	₹95.20/L
Mumbai	₹111.21/L	₹97.83/L
Kolkata	₹113.51/L	₹99.82/L
Chennai	₹107.94/L	₹99.71/L

For consumers, the next major factor to watch is whether the current crude oil spike continues and eventually affects domestic fuel pricing. For oil marketing companies, sustained high crude prices could keep pressure on marketing margins.
