Private fuel retailer Nayara Energy has raised petrol prices by Rs 5/ litre and those of diesel by Rs 3/litre across its network on Saturday, with the revised rates applicable immediately.

The company said the price hike shall apply to more than 7,000 Nayara Energy fuel stations nationwide. Sources within the industry said the move comes against the backdrop of upticking prices of international crude oil and refined fuel, which have put pressure on retail margins. As per the company, the pump prices have been raised to narrow the gap between its retail rates and the higher cost of procuring fuel from international markets.

2nd fuel price revision this year

Notably, the latest increase marks Nayara Energy’s second revision of petrol and diesel prices this year. In March 2026, the company had raised both petrol and diesel prices by similar amounts following supply disruptions linked to tensions in West Asia. The increase was subsequently rolled back in July after international crude oil prices declined.

The latest revision comes at a time when state-owned oil marketing companies have largely kept petrol and diesel prices unchanged. These companies account for more than 90 per cent of India’s over 104,000 petrol pumps.

Earlier this week, the government also directed private fuel retailers not to restrict the sale of petrol and diesel at their outlets. The directive came amid concerns over supply availability and sales limits at some private fuel stations.

Commercial LPG, aviation fuel prices also see a spike

The latest petrol and diesel revision comes alongside increases in other fuel prices.

State-owned oil marketing companies have raised the price of commercial LPG by ₹62.50 per 19-kg cylinder from October. The price of domestic LPG, however, remains unchanged at ₹942 per cylinder. Commercial LPG prices had already risen by ₹9.50 in September after being reduced by ₹192 in August and ₹183.50 in July. Between February and June, the price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder had climbed by ₹1,373, from ₹1,740.50 to ₹3,113.50, before falling in July and August.

Aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices have also gone up by ₹16 per litre, taking the rate applicable to domestic airlines from ₹121 to ₹137 per litre. The latest ATF increase follows a ₹6.28-per-litre, or 5.46 per cent, rise in September and a ₹5-per-litre increase in August.
