📌 Key points

- Highest listed diesel: Thiruvananthapuram ₹104.40; lowest among listed cities: Chandigarh ₹89.47.

- Nayara Energy raised petrol by ₹5 and diesel by ₹3 a litre on 3 October.
Why is diesel cheaper in Delhi than in Hyderabad or Kerala?
Pump prices differ because each state sets its own VAT and adds local freight. That is why Thiruvananthapuram had the highest listed diesel rate at ₹104.40 and Hyderabad ₹104.23, while Chandigarh was as low as ₹89.47 and Lucknow ₹95.36.
Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum revise rates daily at 6 am under the dynamic pricing system, but have largely kept pump prices unchanged. Private retailer Nayara Energy raised petrol by ₹5 and diesel by ₹3 a litre on 3 October, so rates at its pumps can differ.
What changed in fuel taxes at the end of October 2026?
A Finance Ministry notification effective 31 October scrapped the ₹2.50 per litre export duty on petrol and raised the export levy on diesel to ₹11.50 from ₹8.50, according to Mint. These are export levies, so they do not directly change what you pay at a pump in Pune or Patna.
How do fuel prices affect used car and bike values?
With petrol above ₹100 in every metro, buyers of used cars increasingly look at running cost per km. CNG and fuel-efficient petrol hatchbacks like the Maruti Suzuki WagonR or Dzire sell faster, while older diesel SUVs face both fuel cost and the 10-year diesel rule in Delhi-NCR.
Sellers of 100–125cc commuter bikes are in a strong position, since daily commuters in Mumbai, Kolkata and Bengaluru want low fuel bills. Browse or list vehicles on FastBuySale.
Should you expect a price cut soon?
There is no announced cut. Retail prices have stayed frozen despite crude swings linked to Middle East tensions, and the oil companies have not signalled a revision. Plan a used vehicle budget on current rates rather than a hoped-for fall.
