A very big news is coming out from the international market at this time. There has been a huge fall in the prices of crude oil in the global market on Friday, due to which Brent crude has fallen to its lowest level in two months. The ongoing tension in West Asia is now expected to gradually subside, after which investors in the global market have heaved a sigh of relief.
But, the impact of this recession in the international market has not been seen on the domestic market of India at present. Government oil companies have not made any change in fuel prices even today, Saturday, June 13, 2026. Oil prices remain completely stable across the country, which means that the drivers and general public of the country will have to wait a little longer for the prices of petrol and diesel to reduce.
According to Indian petroleum companies, the rates of petrol and diesel across the country have remained stable since May 25. Let us remind you that earlier in the month of May, the public had got a big shock, when fuel prices were increased drastically four times in just 11 days. As soon as the assembly elections in the country were over, the government companies had increased the prices of petrol and diesel on May 15, May 19, May 23 and again on May 25, due to which the additional burden of oil expenditure had increased on the budget of the common man.
Meanwhile, a very relieving news has come out from the international market for the common consumers. After indications of positive talks between America and Iran, a sharp decline in crude oil prices started. On Friday, the price of Brent crude fell by 3.37 percent i.e. $ 3.05 per barrel and closed at the level of $ 87.33 per barrel. Along with this, WTI crude also fell by 3.23 percent to $ 84.88 per barrel. Major market experts believe that if this trend of decline in crude oil continues in the coming days, then the pressure on government oil companies will increase and there is every possibility of the general public getting relief in the domestic market also.
Even though oil companies have not changed the prices today, there is definitely a difference in prices due to VAT and local transportation charges in different states of the country. Today in the country’s capital Delhi, one liter petrol is being sold for Rs 102.12 and diesel for Rs 95.20. Whereas in Kolkata the price of petrol remains at Rs 113.51 and diesel at Rs 99.82 per litre. In the country’s financial capital Mumbai, the rate of petrol has been recorded at Rs 111.21 and diesel at Rs 97.83 per liter.
Talking about Chennai, the big metropolis of South India, today petrol there is Rs 107.77 and diesel is Rs 99.55 per litre. In Noida adjacent to Delhi, petrol is available at Rs 102.12 and diesel at Rs 97.56, while in Chandigarh petrol is available at Rs 101.51 and diesel at Rs 89.47 per litre. In Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, today petrol is stable at Rs 101.89 and diesel at Rs 95.36 per liter. In Patna, the capital of Bihar, petrol is available for Rs 113.37 and diesel for Rs 99.36. Apart from this, the price of petrol in Ranchi, Jharkhand is Rs 105.26 and diesel is Rs 100.49, whereas in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh today the price of petrol is Rs 114.57 and diesel is Rs 99.64 per liter.
