Fuel prices for petrol and diesel remained unchanged on January 12, 2026, continuing a trend since May 2022 due to tax reductions. Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) typically update prices daily at 6 AM, influenced by global crude oil markets and currency rates, though regulatory measures also play a role. Consumers can check current rates in their city via SMS through services provided by Indian Oil, BPCL, and HPCL.
