Petrol, and Diesel Prices Today: Petrol and diesel prices remained unchanged in all the major cities across India on Friday, 5 May in cities like New Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. Petrol rates and diesel rates have been steady over the last eleven months.

According to government oil companies, the price of petrol fell by 27 paise to Rs 96.65 a liter in UP’s Gautam Budh Nagar district (Noida-Greater Noida) this morning, while diesel is being sold 25 paise cheaper at Rs 90.05 a litre.

Except for individual cases, petrol and diesel rates across the country have been steady since May 21 last year, when the previous pan-India revision was announced. However, many cities saw petrol prices above Rs 100 mark.
In India, oil marketing companies (OMCs) such as Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum determine petrol and diesel prices. This is done on a daily basis, and rates are determined in accordance with the price of crude oil throughout the world.
Why do fuel prices vary across states?
The rates for each day, whether new or unchanged, are announced at 6 am on the day. These, however, vary from state to state; this is due to criteria such as Value Added Tax (VAT), freight charges, local taxes, etc.
