Petrol, Diesel, and CNG Price Update

Petrol, diesel, and CNG prices held steady on Monday, June 22nd. Nothing moved, at least not officially. But behind the scenes, things were definitely shifting.

Oil market companies and gas distributors tweak those figures every morning at six, you know? It’s routine, but it signals the underlying pressure is still there. Petrol and diesel saw bumps though. Around seven point five rupees a litre increase so far, driven by those high crude oil prices stemming from the West Asia situation. That conflict really rattled the global economy, and that spillover hits us right here.

Crude oil itself was hanging around eighty dollars a barrel recently. Reports came through that the US and Iran finally signed some interim peace deal, which eased a bit of that intense energy crisis that had been dragging things down for months.

The government moved on the export side too. They upped the duty on diesel and aviation turbine fuel. That’s not the petrol levy that part stayed put at one point five per litre. For that fortnight starting June 16th, the diesel export duty jumped to fourteen rupees a litre, up from thirteen point five. And for ATF exports? That too went up, hitting twelve point five instead of nine point five.

Domestic gas prices felt the squeeze domestically as well. LPG cylinder rates got pushed up by twenty-nine rupees starting back on June 7th that was the second hike in just three months. Delhi saw a jump; a standard fourteen point two-kilogram cylinder climbed to ninety-four-two, up from nine-one-three.

Commercial LPG prices had already moved earlier, back on June first. A nineteen-kilogram cylinder in Delhi went up by forty-two rupees, landing at three thousand one hundred thirteen point five zero.

CNG saw its own small adjustment too. In Mumbai, it nudged up by two rupees to eighty-six per kilogram. Fifteen days after the last hike, that felt like a minor tick. Domestic PNG ended up costing fifty paise more fifty paise, just that much hitting fifty-two for every standard cubit metre now.

When you look at where these prices landed across cities, it’s a mess. Hyderabad was still holding onto the highest petrol rate, hitting one hundred fifteen point sixty-nine per litre on May twenty-fifth. Thiruvananthapuram followed closely behind, stuck at one hundred fifteen point forty-nine.

But Chandigarh seemed to be managing things better there, with petrol sitting at ninety-eight point ten a litre the lowest among the bunch. Lucknow and New Delhi were still relatively cheaper compared to some of the bigger metros, hovering around one hundred two point zero five and one hundred two point twelve for diesel.

For diesel specifically, Thiruvananthapuram was the most expensive city listed, at one hundred four point forty per litre. Hyderabad trailed just behind with one hundred three point eighty-two. Chandigarh, naturally, had the lowest diesel price overall there, sitting at eighty-six point zero nine a litre.

City Petrol Rate (per litre) Diesel Rate (per litre)
Hyderabad 115.69 103.82
Thiruvananthapuram 115.49 114.40
Chandigarh 98.10 86.09
Lucknow 102.05 102.12
New Delhi 102.12 102.12
