Petrol, Diesel Prices On September 24: Check New Fuel Rates In Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata And More
NDTV Profit 1 hr ago·24 Sept 2026, 3:54 am
State-owned oil marketing companies (OMCs) have increased the price of petrol and diesel across major Indian cities, including Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Kolkata. This price revision, which takes effect from midnight, reflects the fluctuating cost of crude oil in the international market. The hike comes at a time when retail inflation is already a key concern for the central bank.
For investors, this move is significant because OMCs like Indian Oil, Hindustan Petroleum, and Bharat Petroleum are the primary beneficiaries. As fuel prices rise, their profit margins tend to expand. However, the broader market may feel the pinch due to the potential impact on consumer spending and overall economic growth.
Investors should keep a close watch on the daily fuel price announcements. Any sustained trend in rising rates could provide a tailwind for OMC stocks. Conversely, a sudden drop in crude oil prices or a government intervention might dampen the rally in these stocks.
