Petrol and diesel prices remained unchanged across major Indian cities on Saturday, June 13, offering temporary relief to consumers after a series of fuel price hikes in recent weeks. Oil marketing companies (OMCs) have kept retail fuel rates steady despite continued volatility in the global crude oil market and geopolitical developments affecting energy supply routes.
The latest fuel prices come after a significant increase on May 25, when petrol and diesel rates were raised by more than ₹2.50 per litre. Since mid-May, cumulative revisions have pushed fuel prices up by nearly ₹7.50 per litre, taking retail rates to their highest levels in more than two years.

Why Were Fuel Prices Increased?
The recent fuel price hikes were largely linked to disruptions in global energy markets caused by tensions in West Asia. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route through which nearly one-fifth of the world's oil and gas supplies pass, has remained at the center of market concerns.
India depends heavily on imported energy, with a substantial share of crude oil, natural gas and LPG supplies sourced from Gulf countries. Any disruption in the region directly impacts domestic fuel costs and supply chains.
To ensure adequate availability of fuel, oil companies passed on part of the higher import costs to consumers through multiple price revisions during May.
Will Petrol and Diesel Prices Fall?
Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri recently expressed confidence that fuel prices could soften in the coming months if global crude oil prices continue to ease.
The minister said India has sufficient fuel stocks and is also exploring additional energy supplies from countries such as Canada and the United States to strengthen energy security. However, he cautioned that any escalation in geopolitical tensions could once again push crude prices higher.
Crude Oil Prices Show Signs of Cooling
Global oil prices slid five percent Friday on optimism over negotiations aimed at reopening the key Strait of Hormuz and ending the Middle East war. International benchmark, Brent North Sea crude, shed 5.0 percent to $85.86 a barrel, on hopes of unblocking the waterway through which large amounts of the world's oil and gas are shipped. The main US contract, West Texas Intermediate, lost 5.0 percent to $83.32 a barrel.
For now, petrol and diesel prices remain unchanged, but consumers and markets will continue to closely monitor developments in global energy markets, as international crude prices remain the biggest factor influencing fuel costs in India.
