Petrol, Diesel Price Today: India Fuel Rates Remain Stable Amid Global Volatility
New Delhi – As of March 11, 2026, petrol and diesel prices across India remain unchanged despite fluctuations in global crude oil markets. This stability comes even as Brent Crude briefly dipped below $90 a barrel after peaking above $100 due to Middle East tensions and currently hovers around $90 per barrel. Government sources indicate that retail fuel prices are unlikely to be revised unless crude oil surpasses the $130 per barrel mark.

Government Response to Global Crude Oil Prices
The Indian government has assured citizens that there is no cause for concern regarding fuel availability. Sources have confirmed sufficient stocks of petrol, diesel, and Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF), with ongoing ATF exports demonstrating the country’s robust position amidst global disruptions. While LPG cylinder prices were recently increased by ₹60 and the booking period extended to 25 days, no immediate hike in petrol and diesel prices is planned.
Rumors of Fuel Shortage Dispelled
Recent reports of a fuel shortage, particularly in Pune, have been dismissed as unfounded. Dhruv Ruparel, president of the Petrol Dealers Association, Pune, clarified that the shortage pertains to LPG, not petrol or diesel. Misleading information circulating regarding petrol and diesel supplies has been refuted by industry officials.
Looking Ahead
The government remains vigilant in monitoring global oil markets. While current conditions allow for price stability, any significant surge in crude oil prices – specifically exceeding $130 per barrel – could prompt a revision of retail fuel prices. For now, oil marketing companies are expected to absorb the current cost pressures, ensuring continued fuel availability for consumers.
