Petrol Diesel Price Today: Fuel Prices Stay Calm, But the Hidden Story Is Obvious to Everyone. On the surface, there seems to be nothing to complain about with India’s petrol and diesel prices. Petrol is priced at ₹94.77 per litre in New Delhi, and diesel at ₹87.67 per litre. Well, technically speaking… as you cross over state lines, the final price of fuel varies because of different VAT rules and freight charges. That means, while the headline is calm, how much you really pay for fuel depends on your location.
