Fuel prices in Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru increased today following a modest weekly rise in crude oil after three weeks of decline.
The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas announced higher retail rates for petrol and diesel in Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru on Tuesday. The revision comes as global crude oil prices posted their first weekly gain in three weeks, ending a short‑term downward trend.
Petrol and diesel prices were adjusted upward in the three metros, reflecting the modest rise in crude benchmarks that influence Indian fuel pricing. While exact per‑litre figures were not disclosed in the source, the upward movement aligns with the standard monthly price review process.
Analysts note that the shift in crude prices, though limited, is enough to trigger a revision in domestic fuel rates, which directly affect commuters and transport operators. The price change is expected to be reflected at fuel stations across the mentioned cities within hours of the announcement.
The government has reiterated that fuel prices will continue to be reviewed regularly, taking into account international oil market fluctuations, exchange rates and taxes. Consumers are advised to check the updated rates at local pumps.
