Fuel Prices Edge Higher In Himachal Pradesh, Stable Across Major Metros

Fuel prices in India are revised every morning at 6 am, with state-specific taxes and logistics determining final retail rates. On March 24, Himachal Pradesh witnessed a hike in both petrol and diesel prices, while metro cities reported no major changes, offering some relief to urban commuters.

City-Wise Fuel Rates
In Delhi, petrol prices remained steady at around Rs 96.72 per litre, while diesel hovered near Rs 89.62. Mumbai continued to report higher rates due to state levies, with petrol at approximately Rs 106.31 and diesel at Rs 94.27. Kolkata and Noida also maintained stable prices, reflecting no immediate impact from global crude volatility.

Regional Impact
The increase in Himachal Pradesh highlights the uneven effect of fuel taxation across states. Consumers in hilly regions often face higher transportation costs, making fuel price hikes more impactful compared to metro cities.
