Petrol, Diesel Prices Today, July 13, 2026: Check If Rates Have Shot Up in Your City as Oil Spikes on Iran Conflict

Mumbai, July 13: Petrol and diesel prices remained largely unchanged across India’s major metro cities on Monday, with rates holding steady in Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, offering relief to consumers despite heightened volatility in global crude oil markets. However, fuel prices saw selective revisions in a handful of cities, with Chennai recording the steepest increase in both petrol and diesel rates, while Bengaluru, Lucknow, Patna and Thiruvananthapuram witnessed price cuts.  

To be sure, global oil prices surged about 4% on Monday after fresh military strikes by the United States and Iran reignited concerns over crude supplies from the Middle East, with investors closely watching developments around the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.  

Brent crude futures climbed $3.10, or just over 4%, to $79.11 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude gained $2.9, or around 4%, to $74.32 a barrel. The rally came after the US launched fresh strikes on Iranian targets, prompting retaliatory attacks by Tehran on US-linked military facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain.  

The latest escalation has renewed fears over the security of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping lane through which roughly one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas supplies pass. While US President Donald Trump said the waterway remained open, Iran claimed it had closed the strait following an incident involving an unauthorised vessel. Ship-tracking data showed only six vessels transited the route on Sunday, the lowest level in five weeks.  

The renewed hostilities have cast doubt over a fragile interim agreement that had sought to ease tensions in the region. Although the International Energy Agency (IEA) said global oil supply recovered in June, production remains well below pre-conflict levels. Analysts said markets now expect heightened volatility, with crude prices likely to remain elevated as long as uncertainty over Middle East supplies persists. 

Here’s a city-wise look at the latest petrol and diesel prices across India’s metros and key state capitals.
