Fuel Prices Surge: Petrol, Diesel, and CNG Costs Increase Amid Middle East Tensions

Your next petrol, diesel and CNG refill is set to cost more! Fuel prices have once again come under pressure after a recent hike of Rs 3 per litre in petrol, diesel and CNG rates, pushing everyday transport and household fuel costs back into focus. The increase comes amid a sharp rally in global crude oil prices, driven by rising tensions in the Middle East. Brent crude, which had been hovering around the $70 per barrel mark, has surged beyond $100 as the ongoing conflict continues to strain global energy supplies and fuel market uncertainty. In India, the move also comes after a long period of stable fuel prices that had remained unchanged for nearly four years. However, after the war began, oil marketing companies were facing daily losses of around Rs 1,000 crore. Now, whether it is petrol for private vehicles, diesel for transport fleets, CNG for daily commuters, or PNG and LPG used at home, fuel costs are once again in public focus. Here is how much these fuels cost today:

Prices of piped natural gas (PNG) have remained steady since April 1. The government has continously encouraged citizens to switch to PNG from LNG. Centre has asked ministries to evaluate the demand for PNG in canteens and pantries across government departments and offices, and to actively promote its wider use. Government establishments, residential colonies and canteens are being encouraged to move towards PNG, while city gas distribution (CGD) companies are being supported in expanding their networks. The overall push is aimed at cutting dependence on imported LPG in the long run.
