India's Petrol, Diesel, and CNG Prices Stable Amid Falling Global Crude Rates
Petrol, diesel, and CNG prices in India remained largely unchanged on July 4 and 5, 2026, despite a significant drop in global crude oil prices due to easing tensions in West Asia. Hyderabad recorded the highest petrol price, while Thiruvananthapuram had the costliest diesel. Officials noted that domestic fuel prices have not yet been reduced as refiners continue processing costlier crude bought during earlier market peaks. However, Aviation Turbine Fuel and commercial LPG prices saw recent reductions.
