Latest development
The government has increased the price of petrol by Re 0.88 to Rs 393.64 per litre and decreased the price of high-speed diesel by Rs 1.88 to Rs 397.76 per litre, effective October 6, 2026.
Latest updates
The latest price adjustment is attributed to several factors, including changes in international oil prices and an increase in the Inland Freight Equalisation Margin (IFEM). The IFEM for petrol rose from Rs 7.91 to Rs 8.02 per litre, while for high-speed diesel (HSD) it increased from Rs 4.19 to Rs 4.75 per litre.
According to the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), the price changes reflect global market fluctuations. Over the last seven days, the average international price for petrol increased to $130.68 per barrel, while HSD decreased to $108.88 per barrel. Consequently, the import cost of petrol rose to Rs 282.77 per litre, and the cost of HSD fell to Rs 290.16 per litre.
The Petroleum Division confirmed that government levies remain unchanged, with a Petroleum Levy of Rs 80 per litre and a Climate Support Levy of Rs 5 per litre applied to both fuels.

A less than one rupee change for petrol and nearly two for diesel. For an individual, it’s barely noticeable on a single fill-up, but for the transport industry, that diesel reduction could add up.
It’s interesting to see the details on the Inland Freight Equalisation Margin. These logistical costs are a significant part of the final price but often go unnoticed.
That’s a good point. The IFEM ensures price uniformity across the country, which is a crucial policy design choice. It means people in remote areas pay the same as those in major cities.
