Petrol Diesel Prices Today, April 11: How Long Can India Hold Off a Fuel Price Hike?

Fuel prices today across India are largely unchanged on 11 April 2026, even after a steep global crude oil fall. State-run oil marketing companies are holding retail petrol, diesel, CNG and domestic LPG rates steady in most segments. This helps contain inflation, while global benchmarks trade near monthly lows after a sharp post-ceasefire crash.

Consumers, however, still face higher costs for some fuels. Commercial LPG, premium petrol and aviation turbine fuel remain elevated compared with March levels. Private fuel outlets such as Shell continue to quote much higher pump prices than state-run networks. Traders meanwhile track fragile US-Iran ceasefire talks and shipping risks in the Strait of Hormuz.

Fuel prices today: key rates for Delhi and major cities

In Delhi, regular petrol prices today stand at ₹94.77 per litre and remain stable. Regular diesel sells at ₹87.67 per litre, also unchanged. CNG supplied by IGL costs ₹77.09 per kg. Domestic LPG, for a 14.2 kg cylinder, is priced at ₹913.00 with no revision since March 2026. PNG in the capital continues at ₹49.59 per SCM.

Major metro cities show differing fuel prices today, especially for petrol, diesel and CNG, though domestic LPG is mostly steady. Mumbai and Kolkata report petrol above ₹103 per litre, while Hyderabad tops ₹107. CNG rates are highest in Hyderabad and Kolkata. Households in Kolkata and Hyderabad also pay more for domestic LPG cylinders than consumers in Delhi and Mumbai.

Fuel prices today: breakdown of Delhi pump and bulk fuels

Delhi fuel prices today also highlight significant gaps between regular and specialised fuels. Premium petrol XP100 sells at ₹160.00 per litre, which is high versus standard petrol. Industrial bulk diesel is listed at ₹109.59 per litre. AutoGas for vehicles stands at ₹64.80 per litre after a ₹2.00 rise. Domestic LPG shows no revision, unlike commercial cylinders.

Fuel prices today: impact on households, businesses and travel

For households, the pause in domestic LPG price hikes since March 2026 offers some support. The unchanged PNG rate of ₹49.59 per SCM in Delhi further helps contain kitchen budgets. However, restaurants and small businesses using commercial LPG face higher costs, paying ₹2,078.50 per 19 kg cylinder in Delhi and ₹2,031.00 in Mumbai after the 1 April increase.

Travellers and frequent flyers may feel changes from aviation fuel pricing. Indian Oil Corporation has corrected earlier reports of a 115% surge in ATF rates for scheduled domestic carriers. IOC states that Aviation Turbine Fuel for these airlines is instead up by about 8.5%, costing roughly ₹1.04 lakh per kilolitre, while charter flight fuel remains near ₹2.07 lakh per kilolitre.

Regular motorists see limited immediate impact as state-run outlets keep petrol and diesel steady. No quick revision is expected in these categories despite the global crude slide. Buyers of XP100 in Delhi now pay ₹160 per litre, around ₹11 more than before the US-Iran ceasefire news. At private pumps, Bangalore users pay close to ₹119.85 per litre for petrol.

Fuel prices today and global crude oil trends

Global crude oil benchmarks have recovered slightly after the 8 April collapse yet still trade near monthly lows. The US-Iran ceasefire announcement triggered a fall of about 15% to 16.5% in one session, the sharpest since 2020. Between 9 and 11 April, prices stabilised as traders weighed the fragile agreement and ongoing shipping constraints.

A blend of political, logistical and supply factors is steering global crude and therefore influencing fuel prices today. The US and Iranian delegations are expected to hold high-level meetings in Pakistan, though analysts describe optimism as cautious. The Strait of Hormuz remains largely shut to regular commercial shipping. Reports suggest Iran is considering "transit fees" for passage, keeping a risk premium in freight costs.

Supply-side issues add further pressure. Saudi Arabia reports that production capacity is still lower by about 600,000 barrels per day after attacks on energy facilities. On the demand side, US inventory data show crude stocks rising by 3.7 million barrels last week, well above expectations, which has introduced a more bearish undertone to oil trading.

Oil marketing companies in India continue daily price reviews and may change fuel prices today or later in line with costs, taxes and currency moves. Listed rates are indicative and can differ across pumps, neighbourhoods and dates. For precise local figures, consumers and businesses rely on official tools and price notification platforms provided by IOCL, BPCL and HPCL.
