Petrol, Diesel Prices Today, July 8, 2026: As Oil Prices Rise, Check Whether Fuel Rates in Your City Have Jumped

Mumbai, July 8: Petrol and diesel prices remained largely unchanged across India’s major metro cities and state capitals on Wednesday, July 8, as state-run oil marketing companies held retail fuel rates steady despite a sharp rise in global crude oil prices today. Oil markets have turned volatile after escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East reignited concerns over potential supply disruptions. While most cities saw no change in prices, Bengaluru was the lone major city to register a marginal increase in both petrol and diesel rates.

Oil prices climbed sharply on Wednesday after the United States launched military strikes against Iran.
US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rose 2.6% to $72.3 a barrel while Brent crude rose the same at $76.1 a barrel. The rally followed Washington’s decision to reimpose sanctions on Iranian oil sales after Iran was blamed for attacks on three commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

The US military said the strikes targeted Iran in response to the attacks on commercial shipping, including a Qatari liquefied natural gas tanker and a Saudi-flagged crude oil tanker that were damaged near the strategic waterway.
