Fuel Prices Hold Steady as Saudi Pipeline Closure Lifts Crude

Petrol and diesel prices today: Fuel rates in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru as crude rose after Saudi shut key oil pipeline · livemint.com

Fuel prices in Indian cities stayed mostly steady on September 14.

New Delhi’s petrol price was ₹102.12 per litre, while diesel cost ₹95.20.

Prices are different across cities because state taxes and local charges vary.

International oil prices rose after Saudi Arabia closed a major crude pipeline.

The closure followed attacks by Iran-backed Houthi militants on Saudi energy facilities.

Brent crude rose above $108 a barrel, and another oil price measure neared $103.

Analysts said the effect may be limited if the pipeline reopens quickly.

A longer closure could reduce oil production and put more pressure on global supplies.
