Motorists across India are waking up to marginally changed fuel prices today, December 9, 2025. While diesel and kerosene prices remain stable, gasoline prices have seen an increase. Here’s a breakdown of the latest fuel rates and the factors influencing them.
Gasoline Prices Rise
Across the country, fuel retailers have increased gasoline prices by approximately ₹1.20 per liter. This adjustment has taken effect starting this morning for most oil firms. Cleanfuel is expected to implement the changes later in the day.
Diesel and Kerosene Prices Remain Unchanged
While gasoline prices have edged up, there is no change in the prices of diesel and kerosene. Last week brought some relief to consumers as diesel and kerosene prices experienced rollbacks of ₹2.90 and ₹3.20 per liter, respectively.
City-Wise Petrol Prices
Here’s a quick look at petrol prices in some of the major metro cities today:
- New Delhi: ₹94.72 per liter
- Mumbai: ₹104.21 per liter
- Kolkata: ₹103.94 per liter
- Chennai: ₹100.85 per liter
- Bangalore: ₹99.84 per liter
- Chandigarh: ₹94.24 per liter
It's important to remember that these are indicative prices and actual rates may vary slightly depending on the specific fuel station and location.
Factors Influencing the Price Hike
Several factors have contributed to the increase in gasoline prices. Geopolitical risks, such as Ukraine's attacks on Russian oil infrastructure and tensions between the US and Venezuela, continue to play a role. These events can disrupt global supply chains and impact fuel costs. Additionally, a tighter Asian gasoline market, influenced by lower exports from China and South Korea, has further contributed to the price increase.
Global Crude Oil Prices
Global crude oil prices remain a key determinant of domestic fuel prices as India imports about 80% of its oil needs. As of today, the WTI crude index is trading around $77.10 per barrel in the Asian session, reflecting a slight increase since yesterday's closing.
Dynamic Fuel Pricing
It's worth noting that fuel prices in India are revised daily at 6:00 A.M. under the dynamic fuel pricing method. This system, implemented since June 2017, ensures that changes in international oil prices and currency exchange rates are quickly reflected in pump prices.
Impact on Consumers
The increase in gasoline prices may impact household budgets, especially for those heavily reliant on personal vehicles. However, the stable diesel prices offer some respite, particularly for the transportation sector.
Looking Ahead
Market analysts suggest that the situation remains dynamic. Monitoring global events, supply-demand dynamics, and government policies will be crucial to understanding future fuel price trends.
