New Delhi, April 27 -- Petrol and diesel prices in India stayed steady on 27 April 2026, despite significant fluctuations in global oil markets driven by geopolitical tensions in West Asia.

Despite continued volatility in global oil markets, the government of India has indicated that petrol and diesel prices are expected to stay stable for now. Oil marketing companies are said to be absorbing part of the fluctuations to shield consumers from sudden price hikes.

Fuel prices are revised daily at 6 AM by these companies, based on movements in international crude oil prices and foreign exchange rates. This system is designed to ensure transparency and align domestic fuel prices with real-time market conditions.
