Petrol & Diesel Prices remain unchanged on May 1: Check latest rates across major cities

The month of May has begun, and oil marketing companies (OMCs) have released the latest petrol and diesel prices for May 1. However, despite the new month, there has been no change in fuel prices, offering no fresh relief to consumers.

According to the latest update, petrol and diesel prices remain stable across the country. The last major revision was in March 2024, when rates were cut by Rs 2 per litre. Since then, prices have remained steady, even after the central government hiked excise duty some time ago — a move whose burden was not passed on to the common man.

City-wise Petrol and Diesel Rates (in Rs per litre):

• Delhi: Petrol 94.72, Diesel 87.62
• Mumbai: Petrol 103.44, Diesel 89.97
• Kolkata: Petrol 103.94, Diesel 90.76
• Chennai: Petrol 100.85, Diesel 92.44
• Bengaluru: Petrol 102.86, Diesel 91.02
• Lucknow: Petrol 94.65, Diesel 87.76
• Noida: Petrol 94.87, Diesel 88.01
• Gurugram: Petrol 95.19, Diesel 88.05
• Chandigarh: Petrol 94.24, Diesel 82.40
• Patna: Petrol 105.18, Diesel 92.04
