Petrol, diesel price today, July 26: Check new rates in Mumbai, Noida and other cities

Petrol and diesel prices in New Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, and Chennai remained stable on Wednesday (July 26). In recent months, petrol and diesel rates have shown little change, but individual cities experience daily fluctuations in their prices. The prices of these fuels vary from state to state, influenced by factors like Value Added Tax (VAT), freight charges, and local taxes.

The last nationwide alteration in fuel rates occurred on May 21 last year when Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman reduced excise duty on petrol by Rs 8 per litre and on diesel by Rs 6 per litre. Since this excise duty reduction by the central government in May 2022, some states have also lowered VAT prices on fuels, while others have introduced cess on petrol and diesel. These regional variations contribute to the diverse fuel prices seen across the country.
