Petrol jumps to Rs 108 in Kolkata while Delhi CNG rises to Rs 79

Petrol jumps to Rs 108 in Kolkata while Delhi CNG rises to Rs 79

Petrol prices have climbed across India’s major metros, with the sharpest jump in Kolkata and smaller hikes in Chennai, while CNG costs rose by Rs 2 in only Delhi and Mumbai. For drivers covering 1,000 km monthly, the change can mean a few hundred to a few thousand rupees in extra fuel spending depending on mileage and fuel type. Still, calculations show CNG cars remain notably cheaper than petrol cars even after the increase.

Petrol diesel and CNG jump as India absorbs Iran war losses in OMCs and inflation risk

Petrol diesel and CNG jump as India absorbs Iran war losses in OMCs and inflation risk

Indian Oil Marketing Companies have raised petrol and diesel prices by Rs 3 per litre and CNG by Rs 2 per kg after reportedly enduring daily losses of Rs 1,000–1,200 crore since the Iran war began. Economists warn the move could add inflationary pressure as higher fuel costs ripple through transport, logistics and retail prices. With the Strait of Hormuz affecting crude supplies, April retail inflation edged up to 3.48% and WPI inflation rose to 8.3%, tightening India’s inflation outlook.

Congress accuses Modi of post election extortion after petrol diesel jump fuels Rs 3 hike

Congress accuses Modi of post election extortion after petrol diesel jump fuels Rs 3 hike

Congress launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the Centre raised petrol and diesel prices by Rs 3 per litre, arguing it signals a “vasooli” or extortion campaign once assembly elections ended in four states and a union territory. The party also pointed to a Rs 2 per litre increase in CNG. Delhi saw petrol climb from Rs 94.77 to Rs 97.77 and diesel from Rs 87.67 to Rs 90.67. Opposition leaders tied the hike to inflation amid the West Asia energy shock.

CNG prices jump up to ₹2 per kg in Mumbai and Delhi after petrol diesel surge

CNG prices have risen by ₹2 per kg in multiple regions, including Mumbai and Delhi, shortly after Oil Marketing Companies increased petrol and diesel rates. In Mumbai Metropolitan Region, the retail price has moved to ₹84 per kg, while Delhi’s rate has climbed to ₹79.09 per kg. The move is linked to higher global crude oil costs and disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz, forcing shipping reroutes and raising concerns about future fuel supplies despite enhanced naval surveillance.

CNG price jumps Rs 2 per kg across regions as Strait of Hormuz disruption worsens

CNG prices in India have been increased by ₹2 per kg in multiple regions after petrol and diesel rates rose amid ongoing disruptions to the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil transit route. With nearly 20% of the world’s oil supply normally passing through the strait, shipping disruptions and tighter LNG flows have pushed crude and fuel costs higher. In the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, CNG now costs ₹84 per kg. Auto-rickshaw and taxi operators are pressing for fare revisions as further increases loom.

Tata Motors expects India passenger vehicle sales to grow 10 percent in FY27 despite West Asia shocks

Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles expects India’s passenger vehicle market to grow around 10% in FY27, citing steady demand even as West Asia conflict and the risk of higher petrol and diesel loom. TMPV CEO Shailesh Chandra said any fuel-driven price shock could hit entry-level sales, but may also shift buyers toward CNG and electric vehicles rather than derail momentum. He pointed to strong April-May demand, improved inquiry-to-purchase conversion in May, and said product plans remain unchanged despite rising commodity costs.
