New Delhi | December 5, 2025 :
Fuel consumers received relief on Thursday as petrol and diesel prices across India remained unchanged, despite fluctuations in international crude oil markets. Although global prices have seen movement, their direct impact is not yet reflected in domestic fuel rates, keeping prices stable in both metro cities and smaller regions.
However, due to varying tax structures, fuel prices in major metros such as Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai continue to remain high—often near or above ₹100 per litre—impacting household budgets.
⭐ Delhi Fuel Prices
Petrol: ₹94.72/litre
Diesel: ₹87.62/litre
Delhi remains among the cities with the lowest fuel rates, thanks to comparatively lower state taxes.
⭐ Mumbai Fuel Prices
Petrol: ₹103.44/litre
Diesel: ₹89.97/litre
Higher VAT makes Mumbai one of the costliest cities for fuel, directly affecting daily commuters.
⭐ Kolkata Fuel Prices
Petrol: ₹104.95/litre
Diesel: ₹91.76/litre
Persistent high prices continue to burden regular travelers. Experts believe relief will only come if state taxes are reduced.
⭐ Chennai Fuel Prices
Petrol: ₹100.75/litre
Diesel: ₹92.34/litre
Fuel remains expensive in southern metros due to the existing tax framework, increasing household and travel expenses.
⭐ Lucknow Fuel Prices
Petrol: ₹94.65/litre
Diesel: ₹87.76/litre
Rates have remained stable, offering moderate relief compared to other northern cities.
⭐ Noida Fuel Prices
Petrol: ₹94.83/litre
Diesel: ₹87.96/litre
Noida’s prices closely match Lucknow’s, helping ease the cost for daily commuters in NCR.
⭐ Jaipur Fuel Prices
Petrol: ₹104.88/litre
Diesel: ₹90.36/litre
High state taxes in Rajasthan keep petrol frequently above ₹100, impacting consumer budgets significantly.
⭐ Gurugram Fuel Prices
Petrol: ₹95.19/litre
Diesel: ₹88.05/litre
Prices have remained unchanged for several days. In NCR, these rates are considered relatively normal.
⭐ Patna Fuel Prices
Petrol: ₹105.18/litre
Diesel: ₹92.04/litre
High state taxes keep Bihar’s fuel prices above the national average, putting added pressure on consumers.
⭐ Bengaluru Fuel Prices
Petrol: ₹102.86/litre
Diesel: ₹88.94/litre
Fuel costs have stayed stable, though still on the higher side across South India.
