Premium Petrol Up by ₹2 as Normal Rates Hold Steady in India
Premium petrol prices rise by ₹2 across India while regular petrol and diesel stay unchanged, signaling deregulated pricing in the premium segment amid market volatility.
India's fuel market saw a rise in premium petrol by ₹2 per litre, while regular petrol and diesel rates stayed flat this week. The price hike affects premium grades from BPCL Speed, HPCL Power, and IOCL XP95, with increases ranging from ₹2.09 to ₹2.35 per litre.
In Mohali, the premium petrol rate moved from ₹105.16 per litre to ₹107.13, and similar bumps are reported across other outlets. Officials note that only the premium category is affected, since regular petrol pricing remains unchanged.
Petrol and diesel prices are deregulated and set by oil marketing companies, so price moves in the premium segment can happen even as the broader fuel basket stays steady.
Global context: The move comes amid heightened energy market volatility following Middle East tensions and disruptions that have impacted shipping routes in the region. While there is no disruption in crude oil supply reported, market conditions have led to price recalibrations in the premium segment.
Takeaway for consumers: The price hike matters mainly for those who rely on premium fuels; regular petrol and diesel remain unchanged for now. Watch for further updates if global conditions continue to influence energy markets.
