Hyderabad’s Petrol Jumps Past Mumbai and Kolkata After Rs 3 Nationwide Hike

Hyderabad’s petrol now hits the country’s top price

State-owned OMCs in India raised petrol and diesel prices by Rs 3 per litre nationwide, the first major change in nearly four years. Retail rates soon broke the psychological Rs 100 mark in most metros, with Hyderabad recording the highest petrol at about ₹110.89 per litre, ahead of Kolkata and Mumbai. The move is linked to the Iran-US conflict, rising Brent crude near $126 and a Strait of Hormuz disruption. Economists warn inflation could cascade into logistics and daily essentials.
