Petrol and Diesel Prices Remain Unchanged Today in India Petrol and diesel prices in India remained unchanged on April 11, 2026, as oil marketing companies did not increase rates. The prices for both fuels stayed at their previous levels, with diesel priced at 78 rupees per liter and petrol at 82 rupees per liter in certain cities. This decision followed a trend of stability in the global crude oil market, where prices had recently dipped below 100 dollars per barrel due to ongoing diplomatic talks between Iran and the United States. Despite rising crude oil prices in other regions, Indian oil companies opted to maintain existing rates, citing government interventions and market conditions. The Indian government had previously reduced excise duties on petrol and diesel by 10 rupees each, effectively making diesel duty-free. This measure aimed to provide relief to consumers amid fluctuating global oil prices. However, the decision to keep prices unchanged was also influenced by the domestic market’s response to recent adjustments by other companies. For instance, Shell India had raised diesel prices by 7.41 rupees and petrol by 25.01 rupees in the previous week, while Naira had also increased rates by 3 rupees for diesel and 5 rupees for petrol in March. These adjustments, however, did not prompt a similar response from all oil marketing companies. The current pricing structure reflects a mix of domestic and international factors. While crude oil prices in the global market have stabilized, Indian companies have chosen to avoid further hikes, possibly to prevent consumer backlash. The decision also aligns with the government’s strategy to manage inflationary pressures, as fuel costs are a significant component of transportation and industrial expenses.#middle_east #india #reliance #shell_india #naira
