In the national capital Delhi, petrol is retailing at INR 94.77 per litre, while Mumbai remains among the costliest metro markets with petrol priced at INR 103.54 per litre.

Indian oil marketing companies (OMCs) such as Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL), Bharat Petroleum (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL) appear to be maintaining a calibrated pricing strategy, absorbing short term fluctuations in global crude prices rather than immediately passing them on to consumers.

This approach relies partly on margins accumulated during periods of lower crude oil prices, allowing companies to cushion domestic retail fuel rates even when international benchmarks rise. Petrol Price Today, March 12, 2026: Check Petrol Prices in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Other Cities.

Fuel prices at petrol pumps are determined by multiple factors including the base cost of crude oil, the USD-INR exchange rate, freight charges and government taxes. The Indian rupee continues to trade close to INR 92 per US dollar, which raises the cost of crude imports.

Central excise duty and state level VAT account for a significant share of the final retail petrol price. These taxes also explain why fuel prices vary across cities such as Hyderabad, Mumbai and Ahmedabad.
