Fuel Prices in Key Cities on April 2​

The latest petrol and diesel prices across major cities are as follows:

Premium Fuel Prices Revised by Oil Companies​

State-run and private fuel retailers have also revised premium fuel pricing:

Global Crude Oil Prices Rebound Sharply​

Global oil benchmarks surged on Thursday after geopolitical developments intensified:

• Brent crude rose over 5 percent to trade above $105 per barrel
• WTI crude climbed up to $103.27 per barrel

This rebound followed earlier declines during the session, highlighting ongoing volatility in global energy markets.

Government Measures and Supply Adjustments​

In response to supply disruptions, the government has temporarily eased norms for kerosene distribution. Public sector oil companies are now allowed to sell subsidized kerosene through select petrol pumps across up to 21 states and Union Territories that were previously kerosene-free.

What Influences Petrol and Diesel Prices in India?​

Fuel prices in India are shaped by multiple factors:

• International crude oil prices
• Rupee to US dollar exchange rate
• Central excise duties and state VAT

Since India relies heavily on crude oil imports, global price movements and currency fluctuations play a critical role in determining domestic fuel rates.
