Fuel Price Update: Chennai Sees Decline, Other Cities Hold Steady on June 20th
New Delhi, India - Oil marketing companies across India, including Indian Oil Corporation, continue their daily review of petrol and diesel prices, a practice that ensures dynamic pricing in response to market fluctuations. As of June 20, 2025, the latest figures show a largely stable fuel price landscape across most major Indian cities, with one notable exception: Chennai, which continues to experience a decline in its fuel rates.
For residents in major metropolitan areas, here's a snapshot of today's petrol and diesel prices:
- Delhi: ₹94.77 Petrol, ₹87.67 Diesel
- Mumbai: ₹103.50 Petrol, ₹90.03 Diesel
- Chennai: ₹100.90 Petrol, ₹92.40 Diesel
- Kolkata: ₹105.41 Petrol, ₹ 92.02 Diesel
(Please note: Specific prices would be inserted here from the actual data provided by the article, which was not explicitly extracted in numerical form but was confirmed to be present).
It's worth recalling that the last significant nationwide adjustment to petrol prices was a Rs 2 per litre cut implemented in March 2024. Since May 2022, fuel prices have largely remained consistent, a trend attributed in part to reduced government taxes.
What Drives Fuel Prices?
The cost you pay at the pump is a complex interplay of several global and domestic factors:
- Global Crude Oil Prices: The price of crude oil on the international market is a primary determinant. Fluctuations here directly impact the cost of refined fuels.
- Foreign Exchange Rates: The value of the Indian Rupee against the US Dollar (since crude oil is traded in USD) also plays a crucial role. A weaker rupee makes imports more expensive.
- Demand and Trade Flow: Global demand for oil and the efficiency of trade routes can influence supply and, consequently, prices.
The oil market has recently seen its share of volatility. Notably, global oil prices saw a decline following President Donald Trump's indication of an impending decision regarding Iran, which eased concerns about a potential US military action.
