The petrol and diesel rates in India remained unchanged on April 27, as state-owned oil companies did not revise fuel prices following their surge in the international market, according to official fuel rate data. In New Delhi, the petrol rates have been maintained at ₹94.77 a litre and diesel at ₹87.67 a litre.

Fuel Prices Across Major Cities

City Petrol (₹/litre) Diesel (₹/litre)
New Delhi ₹94.77 ₹87.67
Mumbai ₹103.54 ₹90.03
Kolkata ₹105.45 ₹92.02
Chennai ₹100.84 ₹92.39
Ahmedabad ₹94.49 ₹90.16
Hyderabad ₹107.46 ₹95.70
Patna ₹105.71 ₹91.49
Bengaluru ₹102.96 ₹90.99
Lucknow ₹95.34 ₹88.50

The rates vary across states due to differences in value-added tax (VAT) and local levies, as per data published by oil marketing companies.

Global Oil Prices Rise

Global crude oil prices continued to rise amid supply disruptions linked to geopolitical tensions in West Asia. Brent crude for June delivery rose 2.2% to $107.66 per barrel, after touching an intraday high of $107.97, according to Reuters. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude also increased 2.2% to $96.47 per barrel.

The surge in prices comes as the Strait of Hormuz, which carries nearly 20% of global oil trade, remains disrupted due to ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran, according to international energy market data cited by Reuters.

LPG Prices And Recent Changes

Commercial liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices were last increased on April 1 by ₹195.50 for a 19-kg cylinder, taking the price to ₹2,078.50 in Delhi, according to data from state-run oil companies. This followed a ₹114.5 hike on March 1.

Domestic LPG prices, however, have remained unchanged since March 7, when rates were increased by ₹60 per 14.2-kg cylinder. A domestic cylinder is currently priced at ₹913 in Delhi, as per PTI data.

Fuel prices in India are influenced by global crude oil rates, the rupee-dollar exchange rate, and central and state taxes, according to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas.

The latest data shows that retail fuel prices have remained stable across cities despite continued volatility in global energy markets.
