As of September 14, 2025, petrol and diesel prices remain a significant concern for consumers across various cities. Fluctuations in crude oil prices on the global market and the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and the US dollar continue to be primary factors influencing these prices.
In Chandigarh, the petrol price is holding steady at INR 94.30 per litre. This price has remained consistent throughout the month, with no fluctuations recorded between the beginning and the current date.
In Chennai, a litre of petrol costs Rs 100.80 and a litre of diesel costs Rs 92.39.
However, in Pakistan, an increase in petrol and diesel prices has been proposed, adding to the inflationary pressures faced by the public. The proposal suggests an increase of Rs 1.54 per litre for petrol, which would raise the price from Rs 264.61 to Rs 266.15. Similarly, a Rs 4.79 per litre increase is proposed for high-speed diesel, potentially increasing the price from Rs 269.99 to Rs 274.78. Furthermore, increases in the prices of kerosene and light diesel are also under consideration. These new prices are expected to be implemented from midnight on Monday.
In other Indian cities, Hyderabad has the highest petrol price at Rs 109.51 per litre, while Lucknow has the lowest at Rs 87.47 per litre. These variations highlight the regional differences in fuel prices, influenced by factors such as local taxes and transportation costs.
Overall, there is no change in the price of petrol and diesel across the country. Crude oil prices fell in the global market a few days ago, but the situation remained the same.
Market analysts are closely monitoring global crude oil prices and currency exchange rates to predict future fluctuations. Consumers are advised to stay informed about these factors to anticipate potential changes in petrol and diesel prices in their respective cities.
