Nayara Energy hikes petrol by ₹5, diesel by ₹3
Nayara Energy has increased petrol prices by ₹5 and diesel by ₹3 per litre to align retail costs with rising global energy prices. This move follows a period of price volatility and reflects the company's strategy to manage margins amid geopolitical disruptions.
Why it matters
Fuel price adjustments significantly impact inflation and the cost of living for consumers in India.
Nayara Energy, India's largest private fuel retailer, has raised petrol prices by ₹5 per litre and diesel by ₹3 with immediate effect, seeking to narrow the gap between retail prices and rising international oil and refined-product costs, people familiar with the matter said.
The latest increase comes amid renewed pressure on fuel retailers from higher global energy prices and follows a series of price adjustments by Nayara this year as refiners grapple with the impact of geopolitical disruptions on crude and product markets.
Nayara, which operates 7,108 petrol pumps across the country, raised petrol and diesel prices with effect from early hours of Saturday (October 3, 2026), sources said.
An email sent to Nayara spokesperson for comments remained unanswered.
