The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas clarified that regular petrol and diesel prices—the fuel that India runs on—are unchanged at Rs 94.77/litre and Rs 87.67/litre in Delhi.
With global petroleum prices up by up to 100% in the last month, PSU Oil Marketing Companies are incurring under-recoveries of Rs 24.40/litre on petrol and Rs 104.99/litre on diesel at RSP level as on 01.04.2026. These decisions are in line with Hon’ble PM @narendramodi Ji’s commitment to protect Indian citizens from soaring international prices.
The recent Rs 2/litre revision applies only to premium petrol variants—XP95, Power95, Speed—high-octane performance products whose prices are revised on a fortnightly basis and whose sales by volume are 2–5% of total volume. These are purchased by motorists at a premium, by choice.
Every pump in India continues to offer regular petrol and diesel at unchanged prices, even as prices in countries all over the world have risen by 30–50%.
