The fuel prices persist as a prominent concern during 2026 for transportation, businesses, and domestic consumers when it comes to their expenses every day. Be updated regarding these to work out your approximate expenses in a more precise manner.
Determining How Fuel Prices Are Formed
It is clear that petrol and diesel prices in India are routinely revised up and down at 6 am each day. The rates are significantly fluctuated depending on worldwide crude prices, variations in the exchange rate of the rupee, and central and state taxes. Also, variations in local AT and transport costs contribute too.
Petrol Prices, 23 February 2026
Fuel prices have remained fairly stable across the major cities in India today. For instance, Mumbai sees petrol priced at approximately ₹103.49 per litre while Hyderabad has it at around ₹107.45 per litre. Bengaluru’s petrol price remains very close to ₹102.90 per litre, and Kolkata is slightly above ₹104.99 per litre.
In New Delhi, a liter of petrol costs around ₹94.77, marginally varying on a day-to-day basis in the adjacent cities such as Noida and Gurgaon. These numbers pertain to daily dynamic pricing and have conventionally been the norm for Indian markets since 2017.
Diesel prices—24 February 2026
Diesel prices have seen very little or practically negligible fluctuation throughout many regions today. In New Delhi, diesel stands at approximately ₹87.67 a litre. The well-exposed markets of Chennai and Kolkata are on the price front with diesel around ₹92.48 and ₹92.02 per litre; Mumbaikars spend ₹90.03 per litre on diesel whereas Bengaluru people are into ₹90.99 per litre of diesel.
Thus, in a manner similar to petrol, different states will have different prices of diesel depending on tax variations and market conditions. So far there have been no changes significant in today’s pricing.
LPG cylinder prices—February 2026
It seems like the right explanation for regular consumers for the pricing of LPG cylinder that is home use 14.2 kg in many towns till the beginning of 2026, as fluctuations with 19 kg commercial cylinders still happen occasionally in view of the market conditions and company review.
While the government remained utterly stable on the price of petrol, diesel, and domestic LPG with the zero-based budget having no new amendments, the commercial cylinder underwent a few monthly revisions coming some months in advance.
What This Means for Consumers
For people who use these services, stable oil prices reflect a peaceful future for them as they can budget for their daily commutes and deliveries. Yet meager fluctuations, despite being the adjectives attached, bring remarkable fluctuations to the monthly budgetary essence, because both petrol and diesel costs are lumped together. While cooking fuel has been mostly stable in the household sector, as yet LPG has remained susceptible to international trends and minor adjustments by oil companies.
