Petrol, Diesel Prices Today, October 8, 2026: Check Fuel Rates In Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Other Cities

Mumbai, October 8: Petrol and diesel prices remained largely unchanged across major Indian cities on Thursday, October 8, with most metros recording no daily revision. However, fuel prices moved in a few cities, with Hyderabad and Jaipur seeing increases while Noida and Thiruvananthapuram recorded declines. 

Oil prices rose on Thursday as mounting attacks on shipping in the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz renewed concerns over supply disruptions from the key Middle East producing region. 

Brent crude futures rose 2% to $102.3 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate crude gained 1.8% to $89.9 a barrel. The gains came a day after prices settled lower following the International Energy Agency’s decision to accelerate the release of oil stocks and prioritise diesel supplies under an existing plan. 

However, concerns over the safety of oil shipments have intensified, with tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz reaching their highest level last week since the Iran war began. The waterway handled shipments equivalent to about 20% of global oil and fuel supplies before the conflict. A tanker north of Qatar was struck by multiple projectiles in the latest incident, causing casualties. 

The supply concerns come even as Gulf producers continue to export crude, with shipments recovering in September. Analysts said producers appear willing to accept higher risks and costs to keep supplies moving as the region has limited alternatives for getting oil to international markets. The IEA’s reserve release could provide temporary relief, but it does not add new production capacity. 

US inventory data also supported oil prices, with crude stockpiles falling by 3.2 million barrels in the week ended October 2, compared with expectations for a 1.7-million-barrel decline. Distillate inventories, including diesel and jet fuel, also fell and remained well below typical seasonal levels. 

For India, a sustained rise in crude prices remains a concern given the country’s dependence on imported oil. Higher energy costs can widen the import bill, put pressure on the rupee and complicate the inflation outlook, particularly after the Reserve Bank of India raised its repo rate and shifted its stance to calibrated tightening.
