Petrol and diesel prices today, October 6: Check fuel cost in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru
Oil prices edged down on Tuesday as resilient Middle Eastern crude exports and a G7 emergency stockpile release eased supply concerns, though attacks by Yemen's Houthis on Saudi targets kept traders wary of risks to Gulf supplies.
Petrol and diesel prices remained unchanged in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru on October 6, according to state-owned oil marketing companies. This continued price stability follows their daily revision at 6:00 AM on Tuesday, despite heightened fuel costs and crude oil prices due to the US-Iran war. Nayara Energy, India's largest private fuel retailer, was the first to pass the impact of higher international oil prices on consumers, raising petrol prices by ₹5 per litre and diesel by ₹3 per litre on Saturday.
The financial capital of Mumbai saw the retail price of petrol stay at ₹111.21 per litre, mirroring the previous day's rate. Over recent days, fuel rates in the city exhibited minimal fluctuation, ranging between ₹111.18 and ₹111.21. Lowered oil prices, attributed to robust Middle Eastern crude exports and a G7 emergency stockpile release, contributed to the price stability.
Brent crude futures fell by 4 cents to $100.28 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate crude futures dipped by 11 cents, or 0.1%, to $89.33 a barrel.
