Petrol, Diesel Prices Today, September 17, 2026: Check Fuel Rates In Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Other Cities

Mumbai, September 17: Fuel prices showed mixed movements across major Indian cities, with petrol rates remaining unchanged in several markets while Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Thiruvananthapuram recorded declines. Chandigarh saw a sharp increase in both petrol and diesel prices, while Bhubaneswar and Jaipur also reported higher fuel rates. Diesel prices remained steady in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai, with notable revisions in several other cities. 

Oil prices extended their decline on Thursday as concerns over disruptions to Middle East supplies eased after Saudi Arabia offered additional crude cargoes through Oman’s Sohar port. Brent crude edged down 0.09% to $105.7 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude edged down the same to $102.3 a barrel. Both benchmarks had declined by roughly $3 in the previous session. 

The latest decline came after Saudi Arabia offered extra crude cargoes via Oman, helping ease concerns over a prolonged supply disruption following attacks on the country’s East-West pipeline and a temporary halt to exports from its Red Sea hub at Yanbu. The additional shipments provided some reassurance to oil markets even as geopolitical risks remained elevated in the region. 

The supply outlook remains closely tied to developments in the Middle East, with Saudi Arabia carrying out airstrikes in Yemen and Houthi forces continuing to launch drone attacks. At the same time, the prospect of diplomatic engagement between the United States and China has helped temper some of the market’s concerns over the broader geopolitical and economic outlook. 

U.S. inventory data also offered limited support to the bearish move in crude. The Energy Information Administration reported a draw of 640,000 barrels in U.S. crude inventories, smaller than the 1.62-million-barrel decline analysts had expected. The smaller-than-anticipated draw suggested that underlying demand and supply conditions were less supportive than previously forecast. 

For Indian markets, crude prices remain a key variable because oil above $100 a barrel can have implications for inflation, the country’s import bill and the rupee. The decline in Brent from recent highs could provide some relief, although prices remain elevated and sensitive to any fresh disruption to Middle East supply.
