On October 30, 2026, the Indian government announced a Re0.85 per litre increase in the price of high-speed diesel (HSD) to Rs400.67, while petrol prices remained unchanged at Rs377.91 per litre. This decision, effective the following day, was made by the Petroleum Division following a revision in ex-depot prices by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA).
The OGRA cited global developments, such as changes in Platts rates, premiums, and incidentals, as the reason for the price revision. The government had previously raised petrol and HSD prices by Rs1.85 and Rs1.75 per litre respectively on Wednesday. Despite a global drop in oil prices, Brent crude futures fell by $1.55, or 1.34%, to $113.77 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures declined by $2, or 1.95%, to $100.78.
