Premium petrol prices hiked

Premium petrol prices have been hiked by Rs 2-Rs 2.3 per litre by oil marketing companies, driven by ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East impacting global fuel markets. The revised rates came into effect on March 20, 2026. Prices of BPCL’s Speed, HPCL’s Power, and IOCL’s XP95 increased by Rs 2.09–Rs 2.35 per litre. Premium petrol is usually used for better engine performance and higher mileage.

Despite the hike in price of premium petrol, India remains an outlier in terms of fuel price rise amid the Iran war. This is particularly significant as India depends heavily on exports for its energy needs.
