Petrol and diesel prices today, October 29, remained unchanged across several major Indian cities, offering some stability to vehicle owners and commuters. However, CNG prices increased in multiple locations, with different cities recording hikes ranging from 50 paise to ₹2. The latest fuel price update highlights differences in petrol, diesel and compressed natural gas rates across India's major urban centres.

According to the reported rates, Hyderabad has the highest petrol price among the listed major cities at ₹116.15 per litre. Thiruvananthapuram follows at ₹115.49, while Kolkata records ₹113.51 per litre. Patna and Jaipur also have petrol prices above ₹113 per litre.

At the other end of the range, Chandigarh records petrol at ₹101.54 per litre, the lowest among the listed cities. New Delhi, Noida, Lucknow and Gurgaon also have lower petrol rates than several other major urban centres.

Diesel prices have remained unchanged as well, but substantial differences continue across cities. Thiruvananthapuram records the highest diesel price among the listed locations at ₹104.40 per litre, followed by Hyderabad at ₹104.23. Chandigarh has the lowest diesel rate at ₹89.47 per litre.

Meanwhile, CNG prices have moved higher in several cities. Chennai, Mathura and Meerut recorded increases of ₹2 each. Mumbai, Bengaluru and Sonipat saw hikes of ₹1, while Bharatpur, Dewas and Firozabad recorded increases of 50 paise each.

The latest update means that while petrol and diesel rates remain steady, CNG users in several cities are facing higher fuel costs. Consumers should check the applicable local rates before refuelling, as prices differ between locations.

Petrol prices today, October 29: Hyderabad records the highest rate

Petrol prices across major Indian cities remained unchanged on October 29, according to the reported figures. However, the price difference between cities continues to be significant, affecting the cost of running petrol-powered vehicles.

Hyderabad has the highest petrol price among the cities listed in the report, at ₹116.15 per litre. Thiruvananthapuram follows at ₹115.49 per litre, while Kolkata records ₹113.51 per litre.

Other cities with relatively high petrol prices include Patna and Jaipur. Petrol costs ₹113.37 per litre in Patna and ₹113.19 per litre in Jaipur. Bengaluru records ₹111.68 per litre, slightly above Mumbai, where petrol costs ₹111.21 per litre.

Bhubaneswar records petrol at ₹108.97 per litre, while Chennai's rate stands at ₹107.76 per litre. These prices are lower than those in Hyderabad, Thiruvananthapuram, Kolkata, Patna and Jaipur, but remain above the rates reported in several northern cities.

Among the listed cities, Gurgaon records petrol at ₹102.97 per litre. New Delhi follows at ₹102.12, while Noida's petrol price stands at ₹101.96 per litre. Lucknow records ₹101.86 per litre.

Chandigarh has the lowest petrol price among the listed cities at ₹101.54 per litre. The difference between Hyderabad and Chandigarh is ₹14.61 per litre, highlighting the substantial variation in petrol prices across urban markets.

For vehicle owners, these differences can affect monthly fuel budgets, especially for people who travel long distances or use petrol-powered vehicles daily. However, the actual expense depends on the quantity purchased, driving distance, vehicle mileage and the rate charged at the local fuel station.

The reported figures indicate that there was no change in petrol prices across the listed major cities on October 29. Consumers should nevertheless check local rates because the price applicable in one city may differ considerably from that in another.

Petrol prices in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Chennai

Petrol prices vary across major metropolitan centres, even though rates remained unchanged on October 29.

In New Delhi, petrol costs ₹102.12 per litre. The rate is lower than those reported for Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata and Hyderabad. Gurgaon, Noida and Lucknow also record petrol prices close to the Delhi rate, with Gurgaon at ₹102.97, Noida at ₹101.96 and Lucknow at ₹101.86 per litre.

Mumbai's petrol price stands at ₹111.21 per litre. Bengaluru records ₹111.68 per litre, making its rate slightly higher than Mumbai's. Chennai has a lower reported petrol price of ₹107.76 per litre.

These figures show that petrol costs differ even among India's largest cities. A motorist purchasing fuel in Mumbai or Bengaluru pays a higher price per litre than someone refuelling in New Delhi or Chandigarh, based on the rates listed in the report.

For regular commuters, even a small difference in the price per litre can add up over time. The total impact depends on how frequently a vehicle is used and how much fuel it consumes.

However, the latest figures do not indicate any new petrol price increase in these cities on October 29. The reported situation is one of stable petrol rates, with differences continuing between locations.

Diesel prices today, October 29: Thiruvananthapuram remains the costliest among listed cities

Diesel prices also remained unchanged across the major cities covered in the report. However, the variation between the highest and lowest rates is substantial.

Thiruvananthapuram records the highest diesel price at ₹104.40 per litre. Hyderabad follows closely at ₹104.23 per litre. Bhubaneswar's diesel rate stands at ₹100.68 per litre, while Kolkata records ₹99.82 per litre.

Bengaluru has a reported diesel price of ₹99.56 per litre, marginally above Chennai at ₹99.55 per litre. Patna records diesel at ₹99.36 per litre.

In Jaipur, diesel costs ₹98.25 per litre, while Mumbai's rate stands at ₹97.83 per litre. The prices in these cities remain below the reported levels in Thiruvananthapuram and Hyderabad.

Northern cities record comparatively lower diesel rates. Gurgaon has a diesel price of ₹95.64 per litre, followed by Noida at ₹95.44 per litre. Lucknow records ₹95.36 per litre, while New Delhi's diesel price stands at ₹95.20 per litre.

Chandigarh has the lowest diesel price among the listed cities at ₹89.47 per litre. This is ₹14.93 per litre below Thiruvananthapuram's reported rate.

The gap highlights how diesel prices can vary across the country, even when there is no reported daily change. For people using diesel-powered cars, commercial vehicles or other diesel-consuming equipment, local prices remain important when calculating running costs.

Businesses that rely on road transport may also monitor diesel prices because fuel is one of the operating expenses associated with moving goods and people. However, the effect on total transport costs depends on factors such as vehicle efficiency, route length, load and maintenance expenses.

The latest figures indicate that diesel prices were stable on October 29, while the difference between cities continued to be wide.

Diesel prices in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Bengaluru

Diesel prices in the major metropolitan cities show a clear difference between northern and southern urban centres in the reported figures.

In New Delhi, diesel costs ₹95.20 per litre. Gurgaon records ₹95.64 per litre, while Noida's rate stands at ₹95.44. Lucknow has a reported diesel price of ₹95.36 per litre.

Mumbai's diesel price is ₹97.83 per litre. Chennai records ₹99.55 per litre, while Bengaluru stands at ₹99.56 per litre. This means that, among these listed cities, diesel costs more in Bengaluru and Chennai than in New Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida and Lucknow.

The differences can influence fuel budgets for people who regularly travel between cities or operate vehicles in different regions. However, consumers should use the local price applicable at their fuel station rather than assume that one city's rate applies elsewhere.

The report indicates that diesel prices remained unchanged across the listed cities on October 29. There was no reported daily increase or decrease in these diesel rates, even though prices continued to differ geographically.

CNG prices today: Several cities record increases

Unlike petrol and diesel, CNG prices increased in several cities on October 29. The reported hikes ranged from 50 paise to ₹2, depending on the location.

Chennai, Mathura and Meerut each recorded a ₹2 increase. Mumbai, Bengaluru and Sonipat saw their CNG prices rise by ₹1 each. Bharatpur, Dewas and Firozabad recorded smaller increases of 50 paise each.

The changes mean that CNG users in these cities are paying more than before, based on the reported price movements. The effect on an individual consumer's fuel spending depends on the quantity purchased and how often the vehicle is used.

CNG is used by various vehicle owners, including private motorists and commercial transport operators. A price increase can affect the running cost of CNG-powered vehicles, although the overall expense also depends on fuel efficiency and distance travelled.

The reported rates show that CNG prices differ significantly between cities. Hyderabad has the highest CNG price among the locations covered, while New Delhi and the National Capital Region share the lowest reported rate.

The increases are not uniform across the country. Some cities recorded larger hikes, while others saw smaller changes or no change in the reported prices.

Consumers should therefore distinguish between the national picture and the rate applicable in their own city. The latest update indicates that CNG became costlier in several locations, but it does not suggest that every city experienced the same increase.

CNG rates in Chennai, Mathura and Meerut

Chennai, Mathura and Meerut each recorded a ₹2 increase in CNG prices, making them the locations with the largest reported hikes in the update.

Chennai's CNG price stands at ₹99.50 per unit following the increase. Mathura records ₹102, while Meerut's rate stands at ₹95.50.

The increase in Chennai brings its reported CNG price close to ₹100. Mathura's price is higher at ₹102, while Meerut remains below both Chennai and Mathura in the listed figures.

For consumers using CNG-powered vehicles, the effect of the increase depends on fuel consumption. Drivers who refuel frequently may notice a greater change in their total spending than those who use their vehicles less often.

Commercial vehicle operators may also monitor these changes as part of their operating costs. However, the precise impact on fares, delivery costs or business expenses cannot be determined from fuel prices alone.

The reported figures establish that these three cities recorded a ₹2 rise. They do not provide a complete explanation for the reasons behind the increases, so the price movement should not automatically be attributed to a specific policy decision or supply issue.

CNG prices in Mumbai, Bengaluru and Sonipat

Mumbai, Bengaluru and Sonipat each recorded a ₹1 increase in CNG prices.

Mumbai's CNG price rose to ₹89 per unit. Bengaluru's reported rate stands at ₹98, while Sonipat records ₹95.

These prices place Mumbai below Bengaluru and Sonipat in the listed figures. The reported ₹1 increase applies to all three cities, but their final prices remain different because each location has its own reported rate.

The changes are relevant for people who rely on CNG for daily commuting or commercial transport. Higher CNG prices can increase the amount paid at refuelling stations, particularly for drivers who cover long distances.

However, the overall cost of running a vehicle depends on more than the fuel price. Mileage, distance travelled, vehicle condition and driving patterns all influence the final expense.

The October 29 update shows that CNG prices moved upward in these three locations even as petrol and diesel rates remained unchanged. This makes CNG the main source of reported fuel price movement in the latest update.

CNG prices in Bharatpur, Dewas and Firozabad

Bharatpur, Dewas and Firozabad each recorded a 50-paise increase in CNG prices.

Bharatpur's CNG price stands at ₹98, while Dewas also records ₹98. Firozabad's price is ₹99.50.

The reported increases in these cities are smaller than the ₹1 hikes in Mumbai, Bengaluru and Sonipat and the ₹2 increases in Chennai, Mathura and Meerut. Nevertheless, they represent a rise in the amount paid by consumers compared with the earlier rates.

For regular users, the effect depends on the quantity of CNG purchased over time. A small increase per unit can add to fuel expenses for drivers who refuel frequently, though the overall impact will vary from one vehicle owner to another.

The latest update does not provide a detailed explanation for why the rates increased in these particular locations. It is therefore appropriate to focus on the reported changes rather than assume a common cause for every city's price movement.

Where are CNG prices unchanged?

While several cities recorded increases, CNG prices remained unchanged in New Delhi, Hyderabad, Rewari and the National Capital Region, according to the report.

New Delhi and the NCR each record a CNG price of ₹86.98. Rewari's reported rate stands at ₹91.59, while Hyderabad records ₹112.

These figures show a wide difference between locations where prices did not change. Hyderabad's CNG rate is the highest among the listed cities, while New Delhi and the NCR share the lowest reported price.

The absence of a price increase in these locations does not mean that CNG costs the same throughout the country. Instead, it indicates that the reported rates remained stable in these areas despite increases elsewhere.

For consumers, the distinction between a stable price and a low price is important. A city can have no daily price change while still recording a higher rate than another location.

The latest update therefore presents two different trends in the CNG market: increases in several cities and unchanged rates in others. The reported figures do not establish a single uniform movement across all locations.

Hyderabad has the highest CNG price among listed cities

Hyderabad records a CNG price of ₹112, the highest among the cities listed in the report. This is higher than the rates reported for Mathura at ₹102, Chennai and Firozabad at ₹99.50, and Bengaluru at ₹98.

The rate in Hyderabad remained unchanged in the latest update, according to the report. This means the city has the highest listed CNG price without recording a reported increase on October 29.

By comparison, New Delhi and the NCR each record ₹86.98, the lowest listed rate. The difference between Hyderabad and New Delhi is ₹25.02 per unit.

This gap highlights how widely CNG prices can vary across Indian cities. Consumers should therefore check the rate at their local refuelling station before estimating vehicle running costs.

The price difference alone does not establish why CNG costs more in one city than another. The report provides the rates and recent changes but does not offer a detailed breakdown of the factors responsible for each city's pricing.

How fuel prices affect household and transport budgets

Fuel prices are an important consideration for households and businesses that depend on road transport. Petrol is commonly used by private vehicles, while diesel powers many passenger and commercial vehicles. CNG is another option for motorists and transport operators with compatible vehicles.

When petrol and diesel prices remain unchanged, vehicle owners can plan their immediate fuel spending using the current rates. However, local price differences still matter because the amount paid per litre varies between cities.

For example, the reported petrol price in Hyderabad is ₹116.15 per litre, compared with ₹101.54 in Chandigarh. The difference of ₹14.61 per litre can have a noticeable effect on the cost of filling a vehicle's tank.

The diesel price gap is also substantial. Thiruvananthapuram records ₹104.40 per litre, while Chandigarh stands at ₹89.47. The difference is ₹14.93 per litre.

CNG users face a different situation because several cities recorded price increases on October 29. The size of the increase varies, so the additional cost depends on the local rate and the quantity purchased.

For households, fuel spending depends on how much they travel and the efficiency of their vehicles. Businesses may also need to consider fuel expenses when planning transport operations, deliveries or other activities that involve vehicles.

However, fuel prices alone do not determine the total cost of travel or transport. Vehicle maintenance, insurance, tolls, parking, depreciation and other operating expenses can also affect the final amount spent.

The latest update provides a snapshot of fuel prices across selected cities, helping consumers compare the reported rates and understand where prices have changed.

What should consumers check before refuelling?

Consumers should check the latest local fuel rate before refuelling, particularly when travelling between cities. The prices reported for one location may not apply in another, and differences can be substantial.

Petrol users can compare their city's rate with the prices reported for other locations, while diesel users can check whether their local price is closer to the higher or lower end of the listed range.

CNG users should pay particular attention to the latest changes because several locations recorded increases. Chennai, Mathura and Meerut saw hikes of ₹2, while Mumbai, Bengaluru and Sonipat recorded increases of ₹1. Bharatpur, Dewas and Firozabad recorded increases of 50 paise.

Consumers should also distinguish between the size of a price increase and the final price. A city with a smaller increase may still have a higher CNG rate than a city where the increase was larger.

The reported figures provide a useful comparison for October 29, but consumers should confirm the applicable price locally when making a purchase. This is particularly relevant for drivers who regularly travel across state or city boundaries.

Conclusion: Petrol and diesel steady, CNG prices rise in several cities

The latest petrol and diesel prices today, October 29, show that rates remained unchanged across the major cities listed in the report. However, fuel prices continue to vary widely by location.

Hyderabad records the highest petrol price at ₹116.15 per litre, followed by Thiruvananthapuram at ₹115.49 and Kolkata at ₹113.51. Chandigarh has the lowest petrol rate among the listed cities at ₹101.54 per litre.

For diesel, Thiruvananthapuram records the highest price at ₹104.40 per litre, followed by Hyderabad at ₹104.23. Chandigarh has the lowest reported diesel rate at ₹89.47 per litre.

CNG prices moved in the opposite direction in several locations. Chennai, Mathura and Meerut recorded increases of ₹2 each. Mumbai, Bengaluru and Sonipat saw hikes of ₹1, while Bharatpur, Dewas and Firozabad recorded increases of 50 paise.

Meanwhile, CNG prices remained unchanged in New Delhi, Hyderabad, Rewari and the NCR. Hyderabad recorded the highest listed CNG price at ₹112, while New Delhi and the NCR shared the lowest rate at ₹86.98.

The overall picture is one of stable petrol and diesel prices alongside rising CNG rates in several cities. Consumers should continue checking local fuel prices because the amount paid at the pump depends on their location and the type of fuel they use.
