Petrol, Diesel Prices On August 29: Check New Fuel Rates In Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata And More
NDTV Profit 1d ago·29 Aug 2026, 3:04 am
Fuel prices in India remained steady for the 12th consecutive day on August 29. This stability comes despite a sharp drop in global crude oil prices, with Brent crude falling over 5% and WTI declining more than 4% during the week. The central government has maintained the daily revision cycle for fuel rates, which is now in its 12th month.
For investors, this is a positive development. Lower global crude prices usually lead to a reduction in fuel rates, which helps lower the country's import bill and reduces the current account deficit. This can improve the overall sentiment in the stock market. However, the rates have not yet been adjusted to reflect the recent drop in global prices, so investors should watch for any future cuts.
Investors should keep an eye on the upcoming monthly fuel price revision. If global crude prices continue to fall, we may see a reduction in domestic fuel rates in the coming days, which could benefit the economy and the stock market.
