What to expect going forward
Petrol prices in India are expected to remain sensitive to global market shifts, taxation reforms and currency fluctuations. While international crude prices are beyond domestic control, rationalisation of taxes and strengthening of the rupee can offer relief to consumers. Staying informed about the underlying factors can help consumers and businesses plan fuel expenses more effectively.
In India, fuel prices are adjusted by state-run oil companies such as Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum, in line with global market trends. When international crude oil prices rise, petrol rates in the country also move up. Conversely, a dip in global crude prices usually leads to a reduction in the daily petrol prices here.
LPG price update
The average price of a 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder across major Indian cities stands at ₹852.50, with no recent change in rates.
Prices have remained stable since April 2025, following a ₹50 hike in April 2025. Over the past 12 months, LPG prices across India have risen by ₹50 between December 2024 and November 2025.
