Petrol and diesel prices remained unchanged across major Indian cities on Saturday, August 8, 2026, giving motorists another day of stability at fuel stations. Despite movement in international crude oil prices, consumers have not seen a fresh revision in domestic retail fuel rates.

Petrol continues to cost more than ₹110 per litre in several major cities. In Kolkata, petrol is currently priced at ₹113.50 per litre, while motorists in Patna are paying ₹114.36 per litre. Hyderabad remains among the costlier cities in the latest list, with petrol selling at ₹115.69 per litre.

International crude oil prices, meanwhile, continue to attract attention. Crude remains above the $80-per-barrel mark, creating uncertainty over the future direction of domestic fuel prices.

Here is a detailed look at petrol and diesel prices across major cities on August 8.

Petrol Price Today in Major Cities

Petrol prices vary considerably across India because of differences in state-level taxes and other local factors.

According to the latest rates, petrol is available at ₹102.12 per litre in New Delhi. In Mumbai, consumers are paying ₹111.21, while Kolkata's rate stands at ₹113.50 per litre.

Diesel Price Today: Check Latest Rates

Diesel prices also remained steady on August 8.

In New Delhi, diesel costs ₹95.20 per litre, while Mumbai's rate stands at ₹97.83. Consumers in Kolkata are paying around ₹99.87 per litre.

Patna's diesel rate has crossed the ₹100 mark and currently stands at ₹100.31 per litre. Hyderabad is even higher at ₹103.82 per litre.

Here are the latest city-wise diesel rates:

The differences between cities underline why motorists should check their local rate instead of relying on the price applicable in another state.

Crude Oil Prices Remain Above $80

While Indian fuel prices are stable for now, international crude oil prices remain an important factor to watch.

According to the latest market update, crude oil was trading above $80 per barrel. The international benchmark referenced in the report climbed around 1.3% to approximately $83.55 per barrel on Friday.

West Texas Intermediate (WTI), meanwhile, declined about 0.30% to around $77.06 per barrel.

Movements in global crude prices are important for India because the country depends heavily on imported crude oil to meet its energy requirements.

A sustained rise in international prices can increase the cost of imports and put additional pressure on oil marketing companies.

Petrol and Diesel Prices Had Increased in May

Domestic petrol and diesel rates had witnessed significant increases earlier this year.

Oil marketing companies raised prices several times between May 15 and May 25, marking the first major upward revisions since 2022.

Following those increases, petrol and diesel became up to ₹7.50 per litre more expensive in the domestic market, according to the figures cited.

However, prices have remained unchanged since the last increase on May 25.

Why Do Fuel Prices Vary Across Indian Cities?

Petrol and diesel prices are not uniform across the country.

One of the biggest reasons is taxation. Petrol and diesel remain outside the Goods and Services Tax (GST) framework. The central government levies excise-related taxes, while states impose Value Added Tax or VAT.

Because VAT rates differ between states, the final amount paid by motorists can vary significantly.

Transportation and other location-specific costs can also contribute to differences in retail prices.

This explains why petrol costs ₹102.12 per litre in New Delhi but ₹115.69 in Hyderabad and ₹114.36 in Patna.

Will Petrol and Diesel Become Costlier Again?

There has been no fresh increase in domestic petrol or diesel prices on August 8, despite volatility in international crude markets.

However, consumers will continue to closely watch global oil prices because prolonged increases in crude costs can put pressure on India's fuel market.

For now, motorists in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Patna, Jaipur and other cities are paying the existing rates.

Consumers planning to refuel should check the latest price applicable in their location, as petrol and diesel rates differ from city to city and can be revised depending on market conditions.
