Petrol and diesel prices across major Indian cities remained unchanged on March 11, 2026, providing relief to commuters amid global oil market volatility triggered by the Iran war. Oil marketing companies like Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum maintained the daily revision status quo, with no hikes despite crude prices hovering around $85 per barrel due to regional tensions.

In the national capital, petrol is priced at ₹94.77 per litre and diesel at ₹87.67 per litre, reflecting steady rates after minor adjustments earlier this month. These figures include central and state taxes, varying by local levies like VAT. Hyderabad recorded the highest petrol rate at ₹107.46 per litre, with diesel at ₹95.70, underscoring South India's elevated fuel costs driven by higher state taxes.

Mumbai followed closely with petrol at ₹103.54-₹104.21 per litre and diesel at ₹92.15, while Patna in Bihar saw petrol at around ₹106.21 and diesel at ₹92.42, per state averages. Delhi's relatively lower rates offer some respite compared to these metros.

The stability stems from the dynamic pricing mechanism introduced in 2017, which adjusts rates based on international benchmarks like the 15-day average import parity price. However, experts warn that prolonged Iran conflict disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz could push prices upward if rupee weakens further against the dollar. CNG rates also held firm, at ₹77.09 per kg in Delhi and similar in other cities.
