Petrol, Diesel Prices Today, June 12, 2026: Fuel Rates Remain Unchanged Across Major Cities as Patna Records Biggest Rise

Mumbai, June 12: Petrol and diesel prices remained largely unchanged across metros and state capitals on Friday. While rates were stable in key markets such as New Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, the city of Patna witnessed the steepest increase in both petrol and diesel prices. Marginal upticks were also witnessed in Chennai, Jaipur and Thiruvananthapuram, while cities including Bhubaneswar, Bengaluru and Gurgaon recorded slight declines, reflecting routine local adjustments in fuel pricing.  

Moreover, oil prices fell for a second straight session on Friday, extending sharp losses from the previous day after U.S. President Donald Trump cancelled planned military strikes on Iran. Brent crude futures dropped 1.7% to $88.81 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 1.6% to $86.31. Both benchmarks are headed for weekly losses of more than 4%. 

To be sure, state-run fuel retailers had implemented another round of fuel price hikes on May 25, marking the fourth increase in just 10 days amid a sustained rally in global crude oil prices. Petrol became costlier by ₹2.61 per litre, while diesel prices were raised by ₹2.71 per litre as oil marketing companies sought to restore squeezed marketing margins. 

Petrol Prices

Petrol prices remained largely stable across major metros and state capitals on Friday. Rates remained unchanged in New Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Chandigarh and Thiruvananthapuram. The national capital continued to see petrol retailing at ₹102.12 per litre, while Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai recorded prices of ₹111.18, ₹113.47 and ₹107.87 per litre, respectively.

Chennai and Jaipur also saw modest rises of ₹0.12 and ₹0.05 per litre, respectively. Rates eased slightly in Bengaluru, Bhubaneswar, Hyderabad, Lucknow and Gurgaon, with Bhubaneswar seeing the steepest decline of ₹0.17 per litre. Despite these marginal fluctuations, fuel prices across the country largely remained range-bound. 

Diesel Prices

Diesel prices remained broadly unchanged across most major Indian cities on Friday. Rates remained steady in New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Noida, Hyderabad, Lucknow and Chandigarh. Diesel continued to retail at ₹95.20 per litre in the national capital, while prices stood at ₹97.83 in Mumbai and ₹99.82 in Kolkata. Among the metros, Chennai saw a marginal uptick of ₹0.10 per litre, with the price ending up at ₹99.66.

On the downside, diesel prices fell slightly in Bhubaneswar, Bengaluru and Gurgaon, with Bhubaneswar recording the biggest decline of ₹0.17 per litre. Despite these city-level adjustments, diesel prices largely remained stable nationwide, reflecting routine revisions driven by local levies, transportation costs and dealer margins rather than any major change in global fuel market dynamics.
