Oil prices in India’s major cities remained unchanged today (April 22, 2026), even as global oil prices maintained their recent gains after US President Donald Trump extended the ceasefire with Iran. Crude oil prices showed little movement in Asian trading on Wednesday, with Brent crude hovering around $98 a barrel after rising nearly 10% in the past two sessions.

In Delhi, petrol still sells for 94.77 rupees a liter and prices are comparatively higher in Mumbai, where petrol is sold for 103.50 rupees a litre. With state elections approaching, the government may choose to keep car fuels under control.

Gasoline prices in cities today

While global oil markets continue to experience sharp fluctuations amid geopolitical tensions in West Asia, oil prices in India remained unchanged today. While metro cities like Kolkata and Hyderabad continue to have higher fuel prices, Delhi remains the cheapest among them. Here is the list of gasoline prices in different cities:

Fuel prices in India are affected by many factors; Global crude oil rates play the biggest role as it is the main raw material for crude oil and diesel. The rupee-dollar exchange rate also affects prices because India imports most of its oil. Also, central excise duty and state VAT increase the final cost significantly, so fuel prices vary from one city to another.

Petrol and diesel prices in India have remained unchanged since May 2022 following tax cuts by the central government and various state governments.

Will gasoline prices increase?

The main concern now is whether regular oil prices will increase in the coming days. Oil companies are hesitant to increase prices of commonly used fuels for now due to inflation concerns. However, with global crude oil prices rising rapidly and the rupee weakening, pressure is increasing on companies such as Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited and Indian Oil Corporation Limited.
If international crude oil prices remain high for a longer period of time, these companies will have difficulty in covering losses, which will increase the possibility of revision in normal fuel prices.
