Before the beginning of the festive season, relief news has emerged for crores of drivers and common consumers of the country. At the national level, oil marketing companies (OMCs) like Bharat Petroleum (BPCL), Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL) and Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) have released the latest rates of petrol and diesel today i.e. on 29 September 2026. Despite the ongoing fluctuations in crude oil prices in the international market, fuel prices in the Indian domestic market have been kept completely stable. There has been no major change in the prices of petrol and diesel in the major metros of the country, which has provided stability in the budget of the working people traveling on daily basis and the transporters involved in freight transportation.
Due to local VAT, freight cost and dealers commission in different states of India, there is a slight difference in the retail price of petrol and diesel in every city. Today, on 29 September 2026, fuel rates in major cities of the country have been recorded as follows:
-
New Delhi: In the country’s capital, the price of petrol remains at ₹ 102.12 per liter and diesel at ₹ 95.20 per liter.
-
Mumbai: In the financial capital Mumbai, petrol is priced at ₹111.21 per litre, while diesel is being sold at ₹97.83 per litre.
-
Kolkata: In Kolkata, West Bengal, petrol is stable at ₹113.51 per liter and diesel at ₹99.82 per litre.
-
Chennai: In Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu, petrol is available at the price of ₹ 107.77 per liter and diesel at ₹ 99.55 per liter.

In the global oil market, a mixed trend has been seen in the prices of Brent crude and WTI crude for the last few weeks. International prices are decided based on the production policies of OPEC+ countries and global demand. Indian state oil companies update fuel prices daily at 6 am based on international benchmark prices and a 15-day average review of the Indian rupee exchange rate against the US dollar. At present, due to the price stabilization policy of the government and refining companies, the direct burden of global fluctuations is not being passed on the pockets of the general public.
Fuel prices are directly related to the retail inflation of the country. Due to stability in diesel prices, the cost of logistics and freight remains under control. Fruits, green vegetables, grains, milk and other essential items of daily use are transported from one state to the markets of another state through trucks. If diesel prices increase, it has a direct impact on the kitchen budget and food inflation. In such a situation, the rates remaining stable even today is a very positive sign for the common middle class families and businessmen during the festive season.
