Petrol diesel prices today, September 22, 2026, remain largely unchanged across major Indian cities. Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru continue to report different retail rates, reflecting differences in state taxes, local levies, transportation costs and other pricing components.
Petrol Diesel Prices Today in Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru
Petrol diesel prices today are being closely watched as international crude oil remains volatile amid geopolitical uncertainty. However, domestic retail rates in the major cities have remained broadly stable.
According to the latest city-wise fuel data, petrol in New Delhi is priced at ₹102.12 per litre, while diesel costs ₹95.20 per litre. In Mumbai, petrol is around ₹111.18 to ₹111.21 per litre, while diesel is ₹97.83 per litre. Bengaluru has petrol at ₹110.93 per litre and diesel at ₹98.80 per litre.
The small variation in Mumbai’s reported petrol figure comes from different fuel-price trackers using slightly different update timings. The latest Mumbai city data from V3Cars lists ₹111.21 per litre, while NDTV Profit’s September 22 city table lists ₹111.18.
Delhi Fuel Prices Remain Stable on September 22
For motorists in Delhi, petrol is available at ₹102.12 per litre, while diesel is priced at ₹95.20 per litre on September 22.
Delhi’s fuel prices have remained at these levels for some time despite fluctuations in international crude oil prices. Domestic petrol and diesel prices do not necessarily move immediately whenever crude oil prices rise or fall.
This is because retail fuel pricing also depends on factors such as the rupee-dollar exchange rate, refining costs, taxes, freight and dealer margins.
For daily commuters, the stability means there is currently no major change in the direct fuel cost of running petrol or diesel vehicles in the capital.
Mumbai Petrol and Diesel Rates Today
Mumbai continues to have higher retail petrol and diesel prices than Delhi.
On September 22, petrol is listed at approximately ₹111.18 to ₹111.21 per litre, while diesel is ₹97.83 per litre. The latest Mumbai-specific tracker shows ₹111.21 for petrol and says the rate was unchanged from the previous day.
The difference between Mumbai and Delhi prices is largely linked to the taxation structure and other local components that are included in retail fuel prices.
For consumers, this means the price paid at a fuel station can differ considerably even when the underlying crude oil market is the same across the country.
Bengaluru Petrol and Diesel Prices Today
In Bengaluru, petrol is priced at ₹110.93 per litre, while diesel costs ₹98.80 per litre on September 22.
The Bengaluru rates have also remained broadly unchanged in recent weeks. Previous city-wise fuel data showed the same petrol and diesel rates, indicating limited movement in retail prices despite volatility in international oil markets.
The rates are particularly relevant for Bengaluru’s large base of two-wheeler and car users, as well as delivery workers, commercial drivers and businesses that depend on road transportation.
Why Fuel Prices Differ Across Indian Cities
Petrol and diesel are not covered under India’s Goods and Services Tax regime. State-level taxes, including VAT and other levies, therefore remain an important part of the final retail price.
Transportation costs, dealer commissions, refining costs and the international price of crude oil also contribute to the price consumers pay at fuel stations.
This explains why two cities can have significantly different fuel prices on the same day.
For example, the September 22 data puts petrol at ₹102.12 in Delhi, around ₹111.21 in Mumbai and ₹110.93 in Bengaluru. The difference is not simply a result of the global crude oil price because the same international benchmark feeds into India’s fuel market.
Global Crude Oil Remains a Key Factor
International crude oil prices remain an important factor to watch. Brent crude settled at around $100.34 a barrel on Monday, down 3.4%, while West Texas Intermediate fell 4.5% to around $95.78, according to the latest market update cited by NDTV Profit.
Geopolitical developments have also kept the global oil market sensitive to supply disruptions. Recent movements around the Strait of Hormuz and wider West Asian tensions have contributed to volatility in crude prices.
However, a fall or rise in international crude does not automatically translate into an immediate change in petrol and diesel prices at Indian fuel stations.
What Drivers Should Watch This Week
Motorists should continue to monitor daily fuel-price updates, particularly if crude oil remains volatile.
The government recently reduced export levies on petrol and diesel. From September 16, the petrol export levy was reduced by ₹1 per litre to ₹0.50, while the diesel export levy was reduced by ₹5 to ₹20 per litre.
The impact of international crude prices, currency movements and domestic tax structures will remain important for the fuel market.
For households and small businesses in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, fuel prices can also have an indirect effect because higher transportation costs can influence the prices of food, deliveries, logistics and other everyday services.
