Petrol, Diesel Prices Today May 20: Check Latest Fuel Rates In Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai And Other Cities
Fuel Rates Today, May 20, 2026: As global oil markets continue to absorb the impact of the latest geopolitical tensions involving Iran and the U.S., petrol prices in several Indian metro cities have come under the lens on May 20. While crude oil prices have eased marginally on early trade, fears over the Strait of Hormuz and general Middle East instability keep the energy markets edgy.
Brent crude dipped 0.78% and was trading around $110.4 per barrel, and WTI crude also hovered near $103.5 per barrel after United States President Donald Trump warned of possible new military actions against Iran if peace conditions are not met.
Prices of petrol and diesel remained steady in all the major Indian cities on Wednesday, May 20, following an increase of nearly 90 paise per litre on Tuesday. This hike by oil marketing companies came just after they raised petrol and diesel prices by Rs 3 a litre last week.
Let’s take a look at the current rates of petrol, diesel and LPG prices in major Indian cities today.
