Petrol and Diesel Price Update: Petrol and diesel prices remain an important concern for vehicle owners across India. Whether you use a motorcycle, car, taxi or commercial vehicle, even a small change in fuel rates can affect your monthly transportation expenses.

According to the fuel price figures reported for October 27, 2026, petrol costs more than ₹100 per litre in all 14 cities covered by the report.

Diesel prices remain below ₹100 per litre in most of these cities, although Hyderabad, Thiruvananthapuram and Bhubaneswar have reported higher rates.

The report also indicates that international crude oil prices have increased, but no corresponding increase in retail petrol and diesel prices was reported in the listed cities.

Here is a detailed look at the reported petrol, diesel and CNG prices, along with the reasons fuel rates differ across India.

Petrol and Diesel Prices in Major Indian Cities

The following table presents the city-wise fuel rates reported for October 27, 2026. These figures should be checked with fuel retailers for October 28 before publication as today's confirmed prices.

Note: These are the rates supplied in the October 27 report, not independently verified live retail prices for October 28.

Which City Has the Highest Petrol Price?

Among the 14 cities included in the report, Hyderabad recorded the highest petrol price at ₹116.15 per litre.

Thiruvananthapuram followed at ₹115.49 per litre, while Kolkata recorded ₹113.51 per litre.

Patna and Jaipur also reported petrol prices above ₹113 per litre.

Chandigarh had the lowest petrol rate among the listed cities at ₹101.54 per litre.

This means petrol in Hyderabad was ₹14.61 per litre more expensive than in Chandigarh.

For motorists who regularly purchase large quantities of fuel, differences of this size can significantly affect transportation costs.

Diesel Prices Cross ₹100 in These Three Cities

The reported figures show that diesel costs more than ₹100 per litre in three cities.

Thiruvananthapuram recorded the highest diesel rate at ₹104.40 per litre.

Hyderabad followed at ₹104.23 per litre, while Bhubaneswar reported ₹100.68 per litre.

In comparison, Chandigarh recorded diesel at ₹89.47 per litre, the lowest price among the cities covered.

The difference between Thiruvananthapuram and Chandigarh was ₹14.93 per litre.

Diesel prices are especially important for commercial vehicle operators, transport businesses and logistics companies because fuel accounts for a substantial portion of their operating expenses.

Petrol and Diesel Prices in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai

Fuel prices vary significantly across India's four major metropolitan cities.

New Delhi recorded petrol at ₹102.12 per litre and diesel at ₹95.20 per litre.

In Mumbai, petrol was listed at ₹111.21 per litre, while diesel stood at ₹97.83 per litre.

Kolkata recorded petrol at ₹113.51 per litre and diesel at ₹99.82 per litre.

Chennai reported petrol at ₹107.76 per litre and diesel at ₹99.55 per litre.

Among these four metropolitan cities, New Delhi had the lowest reported prices for both fuels.

Kolkata had the highest petrol and diesel rates among the four.

These differences are influenced by state-level taxation, local charges and other pricing factors.

Jaipur Petrol and Diesel Prices

Vehicle owners in Jaipur should also pay attention to the latest fuel rates.

According to the supplied report, petrol in Jaipur was priced at ₹113.19 per litre, while diesel stood at ₹98.25 per litre.

At these rates, purchasing 10 litres of petrol would cost approximately ₹1,131.90.

Similarly, buying 10 litres of diesel would cost ₹982.50.

For regular commuters, fuel expenses can become a significant part of the monthly household budget.

Motorists should check the latest rates displayed at their local fuel stations before refuelling.

CNG Price Update: Rates Increase in Several Cities

Apart from petrol and diesel, the report also highlights changes in compressed natural gas (CNG) prices.

CNG is commonly used in passenger cars, taxis, autorickshaws and commercial vehicles.

According to the October 27 figures, several cities recorded increases ranging from ₹0.50 to ₹2 per kilogram.

Here are the reported CNG prices.

These changes may affect daily running costs for drivers who rely on CNG-powered vehicles.

However, prices can vary by supplier and location.

CNG Prices Remain Unchanged in Some Locations

The supplied report also identifies certain areas where CNG rates were described as unchanged.

New Delhi was listed at ₹86.98 per kilogram, Hyderabad at ₹112 per kilogram and Rewari at ₹91.59 per kilogram.

The report also describes ₹86.98 as a rate applicable to Delhi-NCR, although CNG prices can differ between cities and suppliers within the wider NCR region.

Consumers should therefore verify the rate applicable to their specific location.

Why Are Petrol and Diesel Prices Different Across India?

Fuel prices are not necessarily identical in every Indian city.

Several factors influence the final retail price paid by consumers.

State taxes: Different states apply different value-added tax rates and related levies on petrol and diesel.

Central government duties: Central excise duties form another component of retail fuel pricing.

Transportation and distribution costs: Moving fuel from refineries and storage facilities to retail outlets can influence pricing.

Dealer commissions: Retail fuel prices also include dealer margins.

International crude oil prices: Changes in global crude oil markets can affect the cost of producing petroleum products.

Currency movements: Because India imports a substantial portion of its crude oil requirements, changes in the rupee's exchange rate can influence import costs.

However, a rise or fall in international crude oil prices does not always lead to an immediate change in retail fuel prices.

How to Check the Latest Petrol and Diesel Prices

Fuel prices can be checked through official oil marketing company websites and their customer services.

Major public-sector fuel retailers include Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation.

Consumers can visit their official websites or use their authorised mobile applications to check available price information.

Fuel stations also display the applicable retail selling price.

Before relying on a rate shared through social media or messaging applications, check its date and source.
