Petrol Diesel Price 4 May: The global energy landscape has been under intense pressure in recent weeks due to the escalation of the Iran–Israel–US conflict. At the height of the crisis, crude oil prices surged sharply—from around $71 per barrel to well above $100—driven by fears of supply disruptions and geopolitical instability. However, with the announcement of a ceasefire, markets have started to stabilize, and crude prices have since eased.
Despite this decline, the ripple effects of the conflict are still being felt, particularly across Southeast Asia, where concerns over fuel supply and pricing remain significant. In India, the government has taken steps to cushion consumers from the impact of volatile global oil prices by slashing excise duties. Petrol excise duty has been reduced from ₹13 to ₹3 per litre, while diesel duty has been cut from ₹10 to zero. The key question now is whether oil marketing companies will pass on these benefits to consumers through lower retail fuel prices.
As part of the country’s standard pricing mechanism, state-owned oil companies revise petrol and diesel prices daily at 6:00 AM. These prices are influenced by multiple factors, including international crude oil trends, fluctuations in the rupee-dollar exchange rate, central and state taxes, and dealer commissions.
With that context in mind, here’s a look at the latest petrol and diesel prices across major cities in India for today, May 4, 2026.
