On September 22, 2026, petrol and diesel prices across major Indian cities remained stable despite fluctuations in global crude oil prices.

The movement in international crude prices remains an important factor for the energy market. Brent crude slipped below the $100-per-barrel mark after US President Donald Trump said he was open to talking to Iran at the United Nations. Brent had settled at $100.34 a barrel on Monday, down 3.4%, while West Texas Intermediate fell 4.5% to $95.78.
Despite fluctuations in global oil prices, domestic petrol and diesel rates do not necessarily change immediately. Indian retail fuel prices are influenced by several factors, including international crude prices, the rupee-dollar exchange rate, refining costs, taxes and dealer margins. State-level VAT also contributes to differences in fuel prices between cities, while petrol and diesel remain outside the GST regime.
Separately, the Centre reduced export levies on petrol and diesel effective September 16. The petrol export levy was cut to Rs 0.50 per litre, while the diesel levy was reduced to Rs 20 per litre. These changes concern fuel exports and do not directly alter domestic pump prices.
