Petrol Diesel Price Today: Fuel Rates Remain Stable, Check Prices In Delhi, Mumbai And Other Cities

New Delhi: There is no change in the prices of petrol and diesel in major cities of the country on Saturday, August 15, 2026. Rates have remained stable for the last several days and even today customers are getting fuel at the old rates. However, there has been a sharp rise in the prices of crude oil in the international market. Crude became costlier by more than $1 on Friday. Due to this, the price of petrol and diesel may be affected in the coming days.

What are the rates of petrol and diesel in Delhi today?

In the country's capital Delhi, today petrol is being sold at Rs 102.12 per liter and diesel at Rs 95.20 per liter. Talking about premium petrol:

XP95 petrol: Rs 109.24 per liter

Ethanol-free XP100 premium petrol: Rs 167.35 per liter These rates are released by the government oil companies every day at 6 am.

What is the situation in Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru?

Even in big metro cities, the prices are stable and the rates of last week are the same.

Mumbai: Petrol Rs 111.21/litre, diesel Rs 97.83/litre

Kolkata: Petrol Rs 113.51/litre, diesel Rs 99.82/litre

Chennai: Petrol Rs 107.77/litre, diesel Rs 99.55/litre

Bengaluru: Petrol Rs 111.68/litre, diesel Rs 99.56/litre

There is a slight difference in rates in every city depending on taxes and transportation. For this reason, petrol is most expensive in Kolkata and cheapest in Delhi.

Why did crude oil become expensive in the international market?

A big increase was seen in the prices of crude oil in the global market on Friday.

Brent Crude: increased by 1.45 to 88.52 dollars per barrel.

US WTI Crude: increased by 1.15 to 82.40 dollars per barrel.

There are 3 main reasons behind this rise. First, tension between America and Iran. Talks regarding the nuclear deal between the two countries are not progressing. Second, attacks on oil tankers at sea. Due to this, the fear of supply disruption has increased. Third turmoil in the Strait of Hormuz. There is uncertainty about shipping in this area.

Why is the Strait of Hormuz so important?

The Strait of Hormuz is the busiest oil route in the world. About 20 percent of the oil consumed worldwide goes through this route. Big oil producing countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait and UAE export their crude oil through this route. If shipping is affected here, there will be a direct impact on global supply and prices may increase further.

What is expected next?

Currently, retail prices in India are stable because oil companies are still running on old stocks and hedging. But if crude remains around 88-90 dollars and the tension in West Asia does not subside, then petrol and diesel may become expensive in the coming 1-2 weeks. The government and oil companies are constantly keeping an eye on the situation.
