Petrol-Diesel Price Today in India: Petrol and diesel prices remained unchanged across major Indian cities on April 1, with retail fuel rates holding steady amid elevated global energy prices. In Delhi, petrol was priced at Rs 94.77 per litre and diesel at Rs 87.67, whereas Mumbai saw petrol at 103.50 and diesel at Rs 92.02.
In a separate move, the government also raised the administered price mechanism (APM) gas price for state-run Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) and Oil India Ltd (OIL) to USD 7 per nmBtu from USD 6.75, as per official notification. The revision applies to gas from legacy fields under the regulated pricing regime and follows the pricing mechanism approved in 2023. APM gas accounts for about 60% of domestic gas production, meaning the surge could affect user industries from fertilisers to CNG and piped cooking gas, as reported by PTI.

India’s crude oil reserves can cover only 20-40 days, says PNGRB official
As concerns over fuel supplies increase, the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board Secretary Anjan Kumar Mishra stated that India’s liquid fuel reserves are limited in duration. “It may cater for 20-40 days, but it may not be able to cater for six months time for longer period, “ he stated to ANI.
Mishra stated that the crisis in West Asia was affecting India but stressed that there was no shortage of fossil fuel in the country. “Nothing sort of liquid fuel crunch is there in the country, “ he said as quoted by ANI. He also stated that India had broadened its crude sourcing base beyond West Asia and that any sharp rise in prices, if it happens, may be temporary.
