Petrol and Diesel Rate Today in Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai, Hyderabad: Petrol and diesel prices were constant on Tuesday, 27 June across New Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, and Chennai. Petrol rates and diesel rates have been steady over the last twelve months. However, individual cities see fluctuations in their prices everyday. The prices of petrol and diesel change state by state, depending upon various criteria such as Value Added Tax (VAT), freight charges, local taxes, etc.
The last country-wide change in fuel rates was on 21 May last year, when Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman slashed excise duty on petrol by Rs 8 per litre and Rs 6 per litre on diesel. Since the cut of excise duty by the central government in May 2022, some states have also reduced VAT prices on fuels, while some have imposed cess on petrol and diesel.
Earlier this month, the Punjab government raised the Value Added Tax (VAT) on petrol and diesel prices. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government increased petrol prices by 92 paise and diesel prices by 88 paise for retail customers. As a result, the price of one litre of petrol in the state will now be Rs 98.65, while diesel will be priced at Rs 88.95 per litre in Chandigarh.
Currently, in Delhi, petrol rate is Rs 96.72 per liter and diesel costs Rs 89.62 per liter. In Mumbai, petrol is priced higher at Rs 106.31 per liter, while diesel follows suit at Rs 94.27 per liter. Kolkata has petrol price at Rs 106.31 per liter and diesel price at Rs 92.76 per liter. In Chennai, petrol is available at Rs 102.63 per liter, and diesel can be obtained at Rs 94.24 per liter.
