No Change in Petrol and Diesel Prices Even Today on Sunday Fuel Rates Remain Intact at Previous Levels, Bringing Relief to Motorists
New Delhi/Patna (Special Correspondent): Coming as welcome news for motorists and the general public across the country, retail prices of petrol and diesel have recorded no modifications today on Sunday. According to the latest data released by public sector Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs), fuel prices continue to hold steady at their previous, unchanged levels today. Despite fluctuations in crude oil prices in the international market and ongoing geopolitical tensions, domestic fuel rates have remained consistently stable. This has provided substantial relief to everyday commuters and commercial vehicle operators alike.
What Are Today's Petrol and Diesel Rates in Major Metros?
Fuel prices across the four major metropolitan cities of the country remain steady without any fluctuations even today on Sunday:
New Delhi: In the national capital, petrol is priced steady at ₹102.12 per litre, and diesel stands at ₹95.20 per litre.

Prices Remain Stable Across Patna and Other Districts of Bihar
Across various districts of Bihar, including the capital city Patna, petrol and diesel rates remain anchored at their previous levels today:
Status in Patna: In Patna, the retail price of petrol hovers around ₹113.37 to ₹113.59 per litre, while diesel is pegged at approximately ₹99.36 per litre.
While rates vary across different states based on local value-added tax (VAT) and freight charges, price stability has been observed across nearly all regions this Sunday.
Global Crude Oil Trends and Domestic Pricing
According to energy analysts, Brent Crude and WTI prices in international markets have witnessed upward movements in recent days, driven largely by West Asian developments and geopolitical tensions. Despite this, India's oil marketing companies have kept domestic retail prices unchanged to shield consumers from inflationary pressure. In India, fuel prices are determined daily at 6:00 AM under a dynamic pricing mechanism, which has maintained a consistent trend of stability over the past few weeks.
The stability in fuel rates on this Sunday holiday has offered respite to common citizens. However, motorists are advised to verify exact fuel prices at their local pumps before embarking on journeys, as rates can vary slightly across different cities due to differences in local state taxes (VAT).
