On Saturday, there is no change in the petrol and diesel prices in major cities of the country. Oil marketing companies (OMCs) review fuel prices daily, and the rates – new or unchanged – are announced at 6am each day.

Accordingly, if you are in Delhi, you must pay 96.72 for a litre of petrol, and 89.62 for diesel. In Mumbai, one litre of petrol costs 106.31, while an equal quantity of diesel is priced at 94.27. In Kolkata, a litre each of petrol and diesel is retailing at 106.03 and 92.76, respectively. For Chennai, on the other hand, these are at 102.63 and 94.24 respectively.

Fuel rates, in fact, have been largely constant since May 21 last year, when the previous pan-India revision to these was carried out.

City Petrol price (per litre) Diesel price (per litre)
Ahmedabad 96.42 92.17
Bengaluru 101.94 87.89
Chandigarh 96.20 84.26
Gurugram 97.18 90.05
Hyderabad 109.66 97.82
Jaipur 108.48 89.76
Lucknow 96.57 89.66
Noida 96.79 89.96

Also, it must be noted that petrol and diesel prices vary from state-to-state. This is because of factors such as value-added tax (VAT), freight charges, local taxes, etc.
