fuel price today

India might witness an increase in the prices of fuel because of the increase in crude oil prices. The rates of crude oil are at 7 years’ highest level in the international market. The price of crude oil has been steadily rising as a result of fears of a war between Russia and Ukraine. Brent crude is currently selling at about USD 95 per barrel.

However, for over three months now, Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation, and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation have frozen the prices of petrol and diesel prices despite the rise in international oil prices.

People believe that the ongoing elections in five states, namely Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Goa, Manipur, and Uttarakhand, are said to be the reason why the government is not hiking the price of petrol and diesel. Fuel prices are expected to jump by Rs 9 after the elections are over on March 7.

Today’s petrol prices

According to a price report released by the state-run Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) at 6 am today, the fuel prices remained unchanged in all states and Union Territories in the country except Bihar.

In Bihar, the price of petrol and diesel has declined. The price of petrol has been decreased by 0.09 paise, and the price of diesel has been reduced by 0.08 paise. Today, the price of petrol in the capital Patna is Rs 105.90 a litre, while the price of diesel is Rs 91.09 per litre.
