Fuel Prices for Petrol, Diesel, and CNG Announced for July 30

On July 30, 2026, the prices for petrol, diesel, and compressed natural gas (CNG) remained stable, with no changes reported by oil marketing companies (OMCs) and natural gas distributors. These companies typically update fuel prices daily at 6 am, reflecting the current market conditions. As of this date, petrol prices were notably highest in Hyderabad, where consumers paid Rs 115.69 per litre. Close behind was Thiruvananthapuram, with petrol priced at Rs 115.49 per litre, indicating a competitive market in these regions. In contrast, Chandigarh offered the most affordable petrol rates among the cities monitored, with a price of Rs 98.10 per litre. Other cities like Lucknow and New Delhi also presented relatively lower prices, with petrol costing Rs 102.05 and Rs 102.12 per litre, respectively, making them more attractive for consumers compared to larger metropolitan areas.

When examining diesel prices, Thiruvananthapuram again led with the highest rate at Rs 104.40 per litre, followed closely by Hyderabad, where diesel was priced at Rs 103.82 per litre. Conversely, Chandigarh maintained the lowest diesel price at Rs 86.09 per litre, providing significant savings for drivers in that region. The recent adjustments in fuel prices, which saw an increase of approximately Rs 7.5 per litre for both petrol and diesel, were attributed to rising crude oil costs, a situation exacerbated by ongoing tensions in West Asia. This increase reflects the broader impact of global oil market fluctuations on local fuel pricing, which is a concern for consumers and policymakers alike.
