Petrol & Diesel Prices Today – October 20, 2026 (City‑wise Rates)

Every morning, around 6 a.m., oil marketing companies roll out fresh numbers for petrol and diesel. For most of us that means a quick glance at the pump before the daily commute, and, honestly, a little sigh when the numbers jump.

Why do prices differ from Delhi to Mumbai or Bengaluru? It’s a mix of things – state levies, how far the fuel has to travel, the rupee’s mood against the dollar, and the ever‑shifting cost of crude oil overseas. Even if the global price sits still, the local headline can move up or down because of these home‑grown factors.

Here’s the rundown for today, October 20, 2026:

Petrol (Rs / litre) – Diesel (Rs / litre)
Delhi: 102.12 / 95.20
Mumbai: 111.21 / 97.83
Kolkata: 113.51 / 99.82
Chennai: 107.76 / 99.55
Bengaluru: 111.68 / 99.56
Hyderabad: 116.15 / 104.23

Notice the spread? Hyderabad tops the chart for both fuels, while Delhi enjoys the cheapest petrol. For many drivers, that difference can add up to a few hundred rupees a month – enough to affect a family budget.

What can you do? A simple tip is to check the local rates before you fill up. Apps, websites, or even a quick call to the nearest station can save you a trip to a pricier pump. And if you’re planning a road trip, factor these variations into your cost estimate – it’s better to know early than to be surprised at the tollgate.

Remember, today’s figures are a snapshot. They’ll likely stay in place until the next review, unless something dramatic hits the global oil market or the rupee swings wildly. Until then, keep an eye on the numbers, drive safely, and maybe consider a car‑pool or two to stretch that litre a bit further.
