Petrol, Diesel Prices Hold Steady Across Major Indian Cities
Fuel prices in India were mostly steady on September 28.
People in different cities pay different prices for petrol and diesel.
Hyderabad had the highest prices among the cities listed.
Delhi had lower prices than Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad.
The government does not currently plan to increase petrol or diesel prices.
However, the price of crude oil bought from other countries has risen.
This could put pressure on oil companies because they may earn less from selling fuel at current prices.
Local taxes and transport costs help explain why fuel prices are different from one city to another.
On September 28, petrol costs ₹102.12 per litre in Delhi and ₹111.21 in Mumbai, while diesel costs ₹95.20 and ₹97.83 respectively.
Among the listed cities, Hyderabad has the highest petrol price at ₹116.15 per litre and diesel price at ₹104.23 per litre.
The government currently has no proposal to raise petrol or diesel prices despite volatile and rising global crude prices.
Brent crude stood at $106.70 per barrel and WTI crude at $93.86 per barrel at the time of reporting.
Fuel prices differ across cities because of state taxes, transportation costs, dealer commissions, and local demand-supply conditions.
