Petrol price in Delhi below Rs 100, check fuel price in your city

Petrol and diesel prices in India will remain the same. On Sunday, petrol was sold at Rs 96.72 per liter and diesel at Rs 89.62 per liter in Delhi. Meanwhile, petrol is selling at Rs 102.73 per liter and diesel at Rs 94.33 per liter in Chennai.

Petrol prices continued to be the highest in Mumbai, which was sold at Rs 106.31 per liter and diesel at Rs 94.27 per litre. In Kolkata, petrol prices remained unchanged at Rs 106.03 per litre, while diesel was selling at Rs 92.76 per litre.

Even as the price of crude oil fell globally, there was hope in the market that fuel prices in India may come down. However, petrol and diesel prices in India are unlikely to come down anytime soon as oil marketing companies (OMCs) have to recover Rs 18,000 crore of accumulated losses due to higher crude oil prices in previous quarters.

After the collapse of US banks Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, the price of Brent crude fell to $75.03, compared to more than $100 a year ago. Fuel prices in India have been stable since May 2022, when Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman cut excise duty to Rs 8 per liter on petrol and Rs 6 per liter on diesel.
