Petrol, diesel prices unchanged across major cities on 4 November
The Story in Brief
Petrol and diesel prices remained unchanged across major Indian cities on Wednesday, 4 November 2026. In Delhi, petrol is at Rs 102.12 per litre and diesel at Rs 95.20. Mumbai is at Rs 111.21 for petrol and Rs 97.83 for diesel.
Livemint reports the Centre cut the export duty on petrol to zero from Rs 2.50 per litre effective 31 October, while raising the diesel export levy to Rs 11.50 per litre from Rs 8.50. Global oil prices fluctuated as traders assessed US-Iran peace talks, with Brent closing below $104 a barrel. Domestic retail prices did not change.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The two outlets report the same retail fuel price data for 4 November 2026, Kalinga TV presents it as a straightforward rate table, while Livemint frames the unchanged domestic prices against the backdrop of a recent government decision to cut the petrol export duty to zero and raise the diesel export levy to Rs 11.50 per litre from Rs 8.50. Livemint adds context about global oil swings, citing the US-Iran peace talks and a revised Brent trajectory above $70 for the year. The combined reading shows that retail price stability, reported by both, is accompanied by policy and geopolitical developments that do not, for now, reach the pump in India.
