Petrol and Diesel Prices Unchanged on April 23: Latest Fuel Rates in Major Cities
Fuel Prices Remain Unchanged in Major Indian Cities Amid Global Volatility
Fuel rates across major Indian cities remained unchanged on Thursday, April 23, 2026, despite global crude oil markets experiencing volatility amid tensions in West Asia and disruptions along key shipping routes. This pause in retail fuel prices comes at a time when pricing is under close watch ahead of upcoming state elections.
The three major oil marketing companies (OMCs) in India, Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL), revise fuel prices daily to align with global crude oil prices and foreign exchange rate movements. However, prices have remained stable in recent sessions.
In Delhi, petrol continues to be priced at Rs 94.77 per litre, while diesel stands at Rs 87.67 per litre. Prices remain higher in Mumbai, where petrol is retailing at Rs 103.49 per litre and diesel at around Rs 90.03 per litre.

Fuel prices in India are revised daily based on movements in global crude oil prices and changes in foreign exchange rates. Despite volatility in global crude oil markets, petrol and diesel prices in India have remained largely stable over the past few years. Retail fuel prices have seen limited movement since May 2022, when excise duties and state taxes were reduced.
Retail fuel prices are influenced by multiple factors, including global crude oil prices, the rupee–dollar exchange rate, central and state taxes, transportation costs, and demand–supply dynamics. Since India imports a large share of its crude oil, any fluctuation in global prices or currency movements can impact domestic fuel rates.
