Petrol, diesel prices today, September 19: Check rates in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru

Petrol and diesel prices remained unchanged across India's major cities on September 19, 2021, as state-run oil marketing companies maintained current rates during their daily 6:00 AM revisions. In Mumbai, the petrol price is currently ₹111.21 per litre, with no change since yesterday. Over recent days, petrol prices have fluctuated within a narrow range between ₹111.18 and ₹111.21.

However, a regulatory change could disrupt consumer payments at fuel stations. Dealer associations are petitioning the Ministry of Finance and Petroleum for an exemption from a new UPI transaction fee set to take effect next month. Operators warn that the levy could severely impact their thin, fixed per-litre margins, potentially forcing some dealers to halt UPI acceptance for transactions above ₹2,000 to protect their profitability.

Brent crude prices reached nearly $110 early this week, up from $70 in July, but have since seen fluctuations due to shifting concerns about Middle East supply.
