Petrol and diesel prices remained unchanged on September 26 across major Indian cities, according to data from state-owned oil marketing companies. In Delhi, petrol costs Rs 94.72 per litre and diesel Rs 87.62 per litre. In Mumbai, petrol is priced at Rs 103.44 per litre and diesel at Rs 89.97 per litre.
Bengaluru sees petrol at Rs 102.86 per litre and diesel at Rs 88.94 per litre. The prices are revised daily by oil companies based on international crude oil costs and currency exchange rates. No change has been announced for September 26 compared to the previous day.
Fuel prices in India have largely been stable in recent weeks, offering some relief to consumers. The next revision will depend on global crude oil movements and the rupee-dollar exchange rate.
