Every day starts not only with the rays of the sun, but also with the new prices of petrol and diesel. These fuel prices directly affect the common man’s pocket and the kitchen budget of the country. Every day at 6 am, the country’s government oil marketing companies (OMCs) release the latest rates of petrol and diesel. These prices are decided on the basis of crude oil prices in the global market and changes in the exchange rate of rupee against dollar.
Be it a working person going to office, a cab driver driving a car or a small trader selling fruits and vegetables on a daily basis – even a small change in fuel prices affects everyone’s life. In such a situation, it is always a wise decision to know today’s latest prices before leaving home.
11 June 2026: Petrol and diesel prices in major cities of the country
The complete list at which petrol and diesel are being sold today in different states and major cities of the country can be seen in the table given below:
Why have prices remained stable for the last two years?
The question that comes to the mind of many consumers is that there are huge fluctuations in the prices of crude oil in the international market, then why do the retail prices in India not change suddenly? In fact, in May 2022, a major cut was made in the excise duty and VAT on fuel by the Central Government and many state governments. Since then, petrol and diesel prices in the country have remained largely under control and stable, which has come as a big relief to Indian consumers even amidst global turmoil.
What are the main factors that determine fuel prices?
The final price of oil available at the petrol pump is decided by several factors:
-
International crude oil price: India imports most of its crude oil needs from other countries. Whenever crude oil becomes expensive in the global market, the cost of fuel increases in the country too.
-
Dollar vs Rupee: Since international trading of crude oil takes place in US dollars, the position of the rupee against the dollar matters a lot. If the rupee weakens, India has to pay more to buy oil.
-
Government Taxes and Duties: A large part of the total price of petrol and diesel goes in the form of central government tax (excise duty) and state government tax (VAT). Due to the different tax structure of every state, the prices change according to the cities.
-
Refining and logistics expenses: Also added to this is the cost of cleaning crude oil in refineries and converting it into usable petrol and diesel, and then the transportation cost of taking it to every corner of the country.
