Petrol Diesel Price Today: The rising prices of petrol and diesel across the country have increased the difficulties of the common man. In the last 13 days, oil companies have increased the prices several times and now its effect is directly visible on the household budget of the people. Even today, 28 May 2026, petrol and diesel are being sold at high prices in most of the cities of the country. Today, the price of crude oil increased by 3 percent to 97.24. Due to Middle East tensions and rising crude oil prices in the international market, oil remains expensive in India. Experts say that if the situation remains the same, there may be further increase in the coming days.

How much has oil become expensive in the last 13 days?

According to media reports, petrol and diesel prices have risen by approximately ₹7 to ₹8 per liter over the past 13 days. Prices were increased four times during this period. In Delhi, petrol, which previously retailed for around ₹94-₹95 per liter, has now surpassed ₹102. Diesel has also become more expensive by approximately ₹8. The big news is that crude oil prices have risen again today, rising by 3 percent to ₹97.24. It remains to be seen what impact this will have on petrol and diesel prices in the future.

Why are prices increasing?

Due to ongoing tensions in the Middle East, crude oil prices are steadily rising in the international market. India buys most of its crude oil needs from abroad, so the impact of global increases is directly felt here. Furthermore, the rupee's weakness against the dollar is also making oil imports more expensive.

Delhi-NCR is most affected

In the past few days, not only the prices of petrol and diesel have risen, but also the prices of cereals, milk, and other essential commodities. As a result, the difficulties of the middle class and working people are continuously increasing. It should be noted that if international crude oil prices rise further, petrol and diesel prices in India may rise again.
