In a significant relief for consumers and transporters, diesel prices in India have been reduced following the latest fuel price revision. The price cut, implemented on June 3, 2025, reflects the government’s continued efforts to manage fuel costs amid fluctuating global crude oil prices.
According to the latest data, here are the updated diesel prices in major cities:
- Delhi – ₹87.67 per litre
- Mumbai – ₹90.03 per litre
- Chennai – ₹92.39 per litre
- Kolkata – ₹92.02 per litre
This move follows the previous major reduction in March 2024, when fuel prices were slashed by ₹2 per litre. The current cut is expected to positively impact transportation costs and inflation.
Why Diesel Prices Were Cut
The price drop is attributed to a combination of softening global crude oil prices and adjustments by oil marketing companies (OMCs) to align with international benchmarks. The government has also indicated that it will continue monitoring international markets to determine future fuel price adjustments.
Regional Variations Still Apply
Despite the overall cut, diesel prices may vary slightly depending on local taxes and transportation costs in each state. Consumers are advised to check rates at their nearest petrol pumps for accurate pricing.
Final Thoughts
With this latest reduction, consumers can expect some financial relief. However, price volatility may continue depending on global oil market trends.
