Petrol and Diesel Prices Today, October 14, 2026: Check Rates in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Other Cities

Petrol and diesel prices remained unchanged across major Indian cities on October 14, 2026, despite a fresh rise in international crude oil rates. Brent crude climbed above $106 per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude reached $94.63 per barrel amid renewed concerns about oil supply disruptions in the Middle East.

State-owned oil marketing companies, including Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum, continued to maintain their existing retail fuel rates. However, private fuel retailers Jio-bp and Nayara Energy have increased prices in recent days as higher international crude and refined fuel costs put pressure on their margins.

India imports around 90% of its crude oil requirements, making domestic fuel costs sensitive to changes in global oil prices and currency movements.

Latest Petrol and Diesel Rates in Major Cities

Here are the reported petrol and diesel prices across key Indian cities on October 14.

City Petrol (₹/litre) Diesel (₹/litre)

Mumbai	111.21	97.83
Delhi	102.12	95.20
Kolkata	113.51	99.82
Chennai	107.76	99.55
Bengaluru	111.68	99.56
Hyderabad	116.15	104.23

Fuel prices differ from one city to another because of variations in state taxes and other local charges. Consumers should check the latest rates applicable to their location before refuelling.

Why Are Global Crude Oil Prices Rising?

International oil prices moved higher following fresh missile and drone attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels on Saudi targets. The reported incidents included an attack on a Saudi Aramco administrative building in Dhahran, raising concerns about the safety of oil infrastructure and international supply routes.

Meanwhile, expectations of increased Russian diesel exports could provide some relief to fuel supplies. However, continuing geopolitical tensions are keeping global energy markets volatile.

The increase in crude prices is particularly significant for India because of its dependence on imported oil. If international prices remain elevated, the country’s oil import bill could rise, adding further pressure on fuel retailers.

Oil Marketing Companies Face Margin Pressure

Although retail petrol and diesel prices have largely remained stable, oil marketing companies continue to face challenges from higher fuel procurement costs.

According to estimates from ICRA, state-owned oil marketing companies faced marketing margins of approximately minus ₹8 per litre on petrol and minus ₹9 per litre on diesel in September. These negative margins translated into combined daily losses of around ₹530 crore.

Private retailers Jio-bp and Nayara Energy have raised prices in recent days, reflecting the pressure that higher international fuel costs can place on retail operations.

The possibility of continued increases in crude prices remains an important concern for fuel companies, particularly if retail prices do not adjust to reflect higher procurement costs.

What Higher Crude Oil Prices Mean for Consumers

Despite Brent crude rising to around $106.4 per barrel, petrol and diesel rates in major Indian cities have remained relatively stable over the past week.

The rupee-dollar exchange rate is another important factor affecting domestic fuel prices. Since crude oil is purchased internationally, a weaker rupee makes imports more expensive and can increase the cost of supplying fuel in India.

For motorists, the immediate impact remains limited as the reported retail rates have not changed across the listed cities. However, prolonged increases in international oil prices could put additional pressure on fuel retailers and the broader economy.

Consumers are advised to monitor local fuel prices, as rates can vary between cities due to differences in taxation and other regional factors.
