Petrol Diesel Price Today, October 26, 2026: Rising international crude oil prices have renewed concerns about possible increases in petrol and diesel prices in India. According to the supplied market report, Brent crude recently traded above $116 per barrel, raising questions about whether higher global oil costs could eventually affect domestic fuel rates.

Despite the reported increase in international oil prices, petrol and diesel rates remained unchanged across several major Indian cities on October 25, offering some relief to motorists.

The report provides fuel prices for 17 cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad.

However, motorists should verify the latest October 26 rates with their fuel retailer because the supplied city figures relate to the previous day's report.

Petrol and Diesel Prices in 17 Indian Cities

The following table shows the petrol and diesel prices quoted in the supplied report.

Note: These are figures reported for October 25, 2026, and have not been independently confirmed as the retail prices applicable on October 26.

Which City Has the Highest and Lowest Fuel Prices?

The supplied data shows considerable differences in petrol and diesel prices across Indian cities.

Among the 17 locations listed, Hyderabad has the highest reported petrol price at ₹115.69 per litre.

Thiruvananthapuram follows closely with petrol priced at ₹115.49 per litre.

Bhopal, Patna and Kolkata also feature among the relatively expensive cities for petrol in this comparison.

Meanwhile, Chandigarh has the lowest petrol price in the supplied list at ₹98.10 per litre.

For diesel, Thiruvananthapuram records the highest reported rate at ₹104.40 per litre, followed by Hyderabad at ₹103.82 per litre.

Chandigarh also has the lowest diesel price in this comparison at ₹86.09 per litre.

These differences reflect the fact that retail fuel prices can vary by location due to state-level taxation, transportation expenses and other pricing factors.

Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai Fuel Rates

According to the supplied city-wise data, petrol in Delhi is priced at ₹102.12 per litre, while diesel costs ₹95.20 per litre.

In Mumbai, petrol is listed at ₹111.18 per litre and diesel at ₹97.83 per litre.

Kolkata's reported petrol price stands at ₹113.47 per litre, with diesel at ₹99.82 per litre.

In Chennai, petrol is listed at ₹107.77 per litre and diesel at ₹99.55 per litre.

These figures show that drivers in different metropolitan cities may pay substantially different amounts for the same quantity of fuel.

For commuters who travel long distances every day, even a small change in the per-litre price can affect monthly transportation expenses.

Jaipur, Lucknow and Other Cities: Latest Reported Rates

The supplied report places petrol in Jaipur at ₹112.69 per litre and diesel at ₹97.78 per litre.

Lucknow has comparatively lower reported rates, with petrol at ₹101.89 per litre and diesel at ₹95.36 per litre.

In Gurugram, petrol is listed at ₹102.97 per litre, while diesel stands at ₹95.64 per litre.

Noida's reported prices are ₹102.12 for petrol and ₹95.56 for diesel.

Faridabad has petrol priced at ₹103.28 per litre and diesel at ₹95.94 per litre.

Since fuel prices may vary even between nearby cities, consumers should check the applicable rate at their local petrol pump.

Crude Oil Prices Rise in International Markets

The report also highlights an increase in global crude oil prices.

For October 24, it quotes Brent crude at approximately $116.93 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude at around $103.44 per barrel.

Other market figures cited in the report place Brent crude in a range of $116.72 to $117.38 per barrel.

WTI is reported to have traded between $103.27 and $103.44 per barrel.

Brent crude is an important international benchmark used in oil markets, while WTI is a major benchmark for American crude oil.

Changes in these benchmarks can influence the cost of crude oil purchased by refining companies.

However, the figures above should be checked against a reliable historical market source before being presented as verified October 24 closing prices.

Will Petrol and Diesel Become More Expensive in India?

A rise in international crude oil prices can increase the cost of purchasing crude oil for Indian refiners.

India depends significantly on imported crude oil, making international energy markets important for domestic fuel pricing.

However, a higher global crude price does not automatically lead to an immediate increase at petrol pumps.

Retail fuel prices are influenced by several factors, including crude procurement costs, refining expenses, exchange rates, taxes, transportation and oil marketing companies' pricing decisions.

The relationship between international crude prices and domestic retail prices is therefore not always immediate or proportional.

Motorists should avoid assuming that a reported increase in Brent crude means petrol and diesel prices will rise the following morning.

Why Are Petrol and Diesel Prices Different Across Cities?

Fuel prices in India are not identical across every state and city.

One important reason is the difference in state-level value-added tax and other applicable levies.

Transportation and distribution costs can also contribute to local variations.

As a result, neighbouring cities may have different petrol and diesel rates even when supplied by the same oil marketing company.

Consumers who regularly travel between cities may notice these differences when refuelling their vehicles.

How to Check the Latest Petrol and Diesel Prices

Before filling your vehicle, you can verify the current retail prices through official oil marketing company channels.

Major fuel retailers in India include Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum.

Consumers can use the relevant company's official website, mobile application or published fuel-price service to check local rates.

The price displayed at an authorized fuel station should also be checked before refuelling.

For reliable information, avoid depending exclusively on old social media posts or unverified price charts.

Final Takeaway

The supplied October 25 fuel-price report indicates that petrol and diesel rates remained stable across several major Indian cities despite a reported rise in international crude oil prices.

Among the 17 cities listed, Hyderabad has the highest petrol price, while Thiruvananthapuram has the highest diesel price. Chandigarh records the lowest prices for both fuels in the comparison.

However, the reported prices and international crude quotations require fresh verification before they can be described as confirmed rates for October 26, 2026.

Motorists should check the latest rates from official fuel retailers before planning their refuelling expenses.
