New Delhi, India — April 1, 2026
Premium fuel prices in India’s capital have been increased once again, adding to the cost burden for vehicle owners using high-performance fuel variants. State-run Indian Oil Corporation has revised the prices of its premium offerings, XP100 petrol and Xtra Green diesel, in Delhi.
The latest revision pushes XP100 petrol to ₹160 per litre, up from ₹149 per litre, marking a sharp increase of ₹11. Meanwhile, Xtra Green diesel has also become costlier, rising by about ₹1.50 per litre from ₹91.49 to ₹92.99 per litre.
What Is XP100 Petrol?
XP100 is India’s first 100-octane premium petrol, designed specifically for high-end luxury vehicles and superbikes. The fuel enhances engine performance, improves acceleration, and ensures smoother driving for high-performance engines.
Due to its specialized nature, XP100 is typically used by owners of premium cars and sports bikes rather than everyday commuters.
Xtra Green Diesel: Cleaner and Efficient
Xtra Green diesel is marketed as a cleaner fuel alternative with improved mileage and reduced emissions. It is commonly preferred by users looking for better fuel efficiency and lower environmental impact compared to regular diesel.
Previous Price Hikes
This is not the first increase in recent weeks. On March 20, premium fuel prices were also raised by ₹2 to ₹2.30 per litre. However, during that revision, regular petrol and diesel prices remained unchanged, a trend that continues even after the latest hike.
Impact on Consumers
While the price increase does not directly affect all motorists, it will significantly impact users of premium fuel—particularly luxury vehicle owners and performance enthusiasts. The rising cost of premium fuels may also influence consumer preferences and fuel choices in the coming weeks.
No Change in Regular Fuel Prices
Despite the increase in premium variants, regular petrol and diesel prices in Delhi remain stable. This indicates that oil companies are selectively adjusting high-end fuel pricing based on demand and global crude trends.
Market Outlook
Industry experts suggest that premium fuel prices are more sensitive to international crude oil fluctuations and refining costs. Continued volatility in global oil markets could lead to further adjustments in the near future.
