Petrol, diesel rates unchanged on 12 Nov: Delhi at ₹102.12/₹95.20 per litre

Petrol and diesel prices were unchanged in India’s major cities on 12 Nov 2026, according to current city-rate updates. In Delhi, the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC) listed petrol at ₹102.12 per litre and diesel at ₹95.20 per litre, so the immediate takeaway for drivers is a steady refill bill rather than a new hike.

Key takeaways

Delhi’s petrol rate was ₹102.12 per litre and diesel was ₹95.20 per litre on 12 Nov 2026, as per the PPAC’s IOCL outlet entries.
Live city-rate updates also showed no change in the major-city petrol and diesel prices covered on the day.
Metro-to-metro refill costs still differ because fuel taxes, freight and local charges vary by location.
A stable daily rate does not guarantee the same price tomorrow; oil marketing companies review prices around the daily update cycle.

What changed on 12 Nov

The latest PPAC important-news listing, updated on 12 Nov 2026, recorded Delhi’s retail selling price at ₹102.12 per litre for petrol and ₹95.20 per litre for diesel at an Indian Oil outlet. The entries are dated, which matters because fuel prices are time-sensitive and should not be read as a permanent rate.

LiveMint’s 12 Nov city update also reported that petrol and diesel prices were unchanged across the major cities covered in its update. NDTV Profit’s city-wise page showed zero change for the petrol prices it listed in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Pune. Taken together, the available checks point to a day of stable retail rates rather than the metro-wide hike suggested by an early headline signal.

Drivers can use FuelPrice’s live fuel-price page to check the latest city and state listings before filling up. The date and city matter: a price quoted for Delhi is not a substitute for the rate at a station in another state.

Petrol and diesel rates across four metros

The following city comparison uses the 12 Nov 2026 rate update reported by LiveMint, with the Delhi entries also appearing in the PPAC listing. Amounts are retail prices per litre. The sources differ by one paise for Chennai: LiveMint’s Goodreturns-based table lists ₹107.76, while the PPAC metro sheet and NDTV Profit list ₹107.77. The difference is disclosed here rather than silently choosing one figure.

City	Petrol per litre	Diesel per litre	Change reported
Delhi	₹102.12	₹95.20	No change
Mumbai	₹111.21	₹97.83	No change
Chennai	₹107.77	₹99.55	No change
Kolkata	₹113.51	₹99.82	No change

The comparison shows why a national “unchanged” headline does not produce one uniform bill. Mumbai’s listed petrol rate was higher than Delhi’s, while Kolkata was higher again. That difference is not a change in the vehicle or the fuel grade; it reflects the way state taxes and other local components feed into the final pump price.

What a steady rate means for a refill

For a simple cost check, a notional 50-litre petrol refill at Delhi’s listed rate works out to ₹5,106. At Mumbai’s listed rate, the same 50 litres would be ₹5,560.50, or ₹454.50 more. These are arithmetic illustrations based on the dated city rates, not a promise that every vehicle will take 50 litres or that every station will display an identical figure.

For a driver covering 1,000 km in a month with a petrol car returning 15 km per litre, the assumed fuel requirement is about 66.7 litres. At the Delhi rate above, the petrol portion of that monthly running cost is roughly ₹6,808.40. Actual usage will change with traffic, speed, load, tyre pressure, air-conditioning and the vehicle’s real-world efficiency. Use FuelPrice’s fuel-cost calculator with your own distance and mileage rather than treating a city average as a personal quote.

What drivers should check now

Before a city-to-city trip

Check the starting-city and destination-city rates on the day of departure, then separate fuel from tolls and other trip expenses. Fuel may be stable while the total road-trip budget still changes because the route, traffic or toll section is different. The road-trip planner can help organise those inputs before a longer drive.

When reading a price update

Confirm the date and the unit: petrol and diesel are quoted per litre, while CNG is quoted per kilogram.
Check the exact city or district instead of assuming a metro rate applies everywhere in the state.
Look again after the daily update cycle if the trip begins early, because a reviewed rate can change even after several unchanged days.
Keep the refill receipt if the amount at the pump differs materially from a displayed online rate; local station details and timing can matter.

What to watch next

The next update will show whether the stable petrol and diesel rates continue. International crude prices, currency movements, taxes and oil-company pricing decisions can all affect the retail number, but a single unchanged day does not establish a future direction. For now, the useful reader takeaway is straightforward: on 12 Nov 2026, Delhi’s dated rates were ₹102.12 per litre for petrol and ₹95.20 per litre for diesel, while the city where a vehicle is filled still determines the final bill.
