Petrol and diesel prices across major Indian cities remained unchanged on Thursday, despite global fuel markets experiencing sharp volatility due to the escalating Middle East conflict and concerns over oil supply routes.
Among the six key metros, Hyderabad recorded the highest petrol price at ₹107.46 per litre, while New Delhi remained the cheapest at ₹94.77 per litre, as per HT data.
Diesel prices also showed a wide spread, with Hyderabad topping the chart at ₹95.70 per litre, and Delhi recording the lowest diesel price at ₹87.67.
On a state-wise basis, Andhra Pradesh reported the highest petrol price at ₹109.93 per litre, followed closely by Kerala at ₹107.48 and Telangana at ₹107.46.
The global fuel markets are under pressure, with diesel prices in Europe jumping 27 per cent since Friday, according to news agency AP.
Despite the global volatility, the central government has sought to reassure domestic consumers, stating that India has sufficient energy reserves and consumers will not face any immediate shortage of petrol, diesel or cooking gas.
