Petrol, Diesel Prices On October 1: Check Fuel Rates In Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata And More
NDTV Profit 2 hrs ago·1 Oct 2026, 3:58 am
On October 1, the state‑run oil marketing companies kept retail prices of petrol and diesel unchanged in major cities such as Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai and Kolkata, even as international crude oil prices have shown volatility in recent months.
For investors, stable fuel prices mean that consumer spending on transport and logistics is unlikely to face added pressure, which can support margins for companies that depend on road freight and help keep inflation trends in check. At the same time, the price freeze indicates that the marketers are absorbing cost swings, a factor that could weigh on their own profitability.
Going forward, keep an eye on movements in global crude benchmarks, any changes to excise duties and the quarterly price‑review schedule. A sudden shift in oil markets or fiscal policy could prompt a price adjustment, affecting cost structures across many sectors.
