Petrol, Diesel, and CNG Prices Hold Steady Amid Global Oil Market Fluctuations
Petrol, diesel, and CNG prices in India remained unchanged on June 30 and July 1, 2026, despite fluctuations in global crude oil prices amid tensions between the US and Iran. Hyderabad recorded the highest petrol price, while Thiruvananthapuram had the costliest diesel. Recent price hikes of around Rs 7.5 per litre were implemented in late May due to elevated crude prices and geopolitical concerns affecting oil supply routes like the Strait of Hormuz.
