Petrol and Diesel Prices Today on May 27, 2026: Petrol and diesel prices in India remained unchanged on Wednesday, giving consumers a break after a series of fuel price revisions over the past few days. The rates have been revised several times in the last few weeks by the state-owned oil marketing companies as profit margins are shrinking due to high crude prices in the international market and tensions in the Middle East.
Retail fuel prices have not pulled back immediately, though crude oil prices have come off the boil slightly over the past few days. Fuel prices remain one of the most closely watched indicators for households and businesses already facing higher costs of transport and living.
Petrol prices steady in major cities
Metro and some state capital cities on Wednesday saw no change in petrol prices a day after the revision.
Earlier, state-run retailers had increased fuel prices by ₹2.61 a litre, the fourth revision in 10 days as volatility in crude oil prices continued to weigh on domestic rates.

Will fuel prices rise again?
Trends in future domestic fuel prices will depend mostly on movements of world oil prices and geopolitics.
If high prices continue in oil and input costs are under pressure, fuel retailers will consider their margins. But sustained crude cooling could eventually provide some price relief.
Consumers are getting a bit of a break at the pump for now – but at relatively high levels.
