Petrol and diesel prices today, October 3, 2026: Motorists across India are keeping an eye on fuel prices as petrol and diesel rates continue to vary from city to city. The latest rates show that prices in several major cities remain unchanged, with daily revisions reflecting factors including international crude oil prices, the rupee-dollar exchange rate, taxes and other local costs.

Petrol and diesel prices in India are revised daily under the dynamic fuel pricing system. The updated rates are generally applicable from 6 am, allowing consumers to check the latest price before filling up their vehicles. Since petrol and diesel are subject to different state taxes and levies, the amount paid by consumers can differ significantly even between major metropolitan cities.

Why Do Petrol And Diesel Prices Differ?

Fuel prices differ across Indian cities largely because of variations in state taxes, including VAT, as well as transportation and other local charges. International crude oil prices also remain an important factor because crude is the primary raw material used to produce petrol and diesel. Currency movements can further influence the cost of imported crude.

Consumers planning long-distance journeys can therefore check the latest rates in their city before refuelling. With prices updated daily, the applicable rate may change from one day to the next depending on market conditions and pricing decisions.
