by Yuki

The latest petrol and diesel prices were announced on Friday, June 21, 2024. Fuel prices in India are influenced by international crude oil prices, with fluctuations leading to changes in domestic fuel costs. Government oil marketing companies release updated petrol and diesel prices daily at 6 a.m.

Recent Price Changes

Since March 2024, petrol and diesel prices have largely remained stable after the central government reduced petrol prices by Rs 2. Prior to this, prices had been steady since May 2022 following a reduction in fuel taxes by the central and state governments. However, the Karnataka government recently increased petrol and diesel prices by Rs 3 per litre due to higher sales tax.
