Fuel Prices Hold Steady as Saudi Pipeline Closure Lifts Crude
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.
Petrol and diesel prices in Indian cities showed only slight changes on September 14.
New Delhi recorded petrol at ₹102.12 per litre and diesel at ₹95.20.
Mumbai had petrol at ₹111.21 and diesel at ₹97.83 per litre.
Brent crude rose 3.6% above $108 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate neared $103.
