Petrol and Diesel Prices Hold Steady Across Indian Cities Amid Global Crude Price Dip
Petrol and diesel prices remained steady across major Indian cities on September 16, with no changes reported from the previous day. Mumbai's petrol price stood at ₹111.21 per litre, consistent within a narrow recent range. Despite global crude oil prices easing slightly from a four-month high due to supply concerns linked to Saudi Arabia, domestic fuel rates held firm. Variations in retail prices across states continue to reflect local taxes and levies, while state-run oil companies maintain daily price revisions.
