Petrol and Diesel Prices Today, May 24
Petrol, Diesel Prices on May 22, 2026: Petrol and diesel prices remained unchanged on Sunday, May 24. Oil marketing companies (OMCs) revise fuel prices daily at 6 AM, aligning them with movements in global crude oil prices and currency exchange rates.
OMCs have hiked fuel rates two times in the past few days aggregating to around Rs 4 hike. Elevated crude oil prices triggered by the Iran-US war are putting pressure on OMCs, leading to sharp losses every day. India imports 85-90 per cent of its crude oil, making it volatile for geopolitical disruption.
India’s forex reserve is under pressure due to the elevated crude oil prices.
Petrol and diesel prices were increased by Rs 3 across Indian cities on May 15, amid rising global crude oil prices and supply concerns triggered by the ongoing West Asia crisis. Later, on May 19, the fuel prices were hiked by another 90 paise.
