Petrol and Diesel Price Today: As of May 13, 2026, there has been no change in the prices of petrol and diesel in India, providing significant relief to the general public. Despite the ongoing fluctuations in crude oil prices on the international market, domestic fuel rates in the country remain unaffected for now. The government and oil companies have opted to keep petrol and diesel prices stable at this time to alleviate the burden of inflation on citizens.
Oil companies adjust prices daily based on market conditions, but currently, they have chosen to avoid any increases.
This price stability is beneficial for the general public, the transportation sector, and businesses, as fuel prices have a direct effect on overall costs. The situation is anticipated to remain unchanged for the foreseeable future, although global markets are being monitored closely.
The effects of international market fluctuations
The global oil market continues to be unstable due to ongoing tensions in the Middle East. Issues involving Iran, Israel, and the United States have raised alarms regarding oil supply stability. Notably, there is a risk of supply disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz, which is responsible for transporting about 20% of the world’s oil.
Daily updates on prices in India
In India, oil marketing companies (OMCs) revise petrol and diesel prices every day at 6 am. These adjustments are influenced by the price of crude oil and the dollar-rupee exchange rate, ensuring transparency and accurate pricing.
