Petrol-Diesel Prices Today: Fuel Rates Held Steady on Nov 1
State-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) kept domestic retail fuel prices unchanged on Sunday, November 1, 2026, shielding consumers from price volatility despite international crude oil benchmarks surging past $110 per barrel on the back of persistent geopolitical conflict. The international surge marks a stark shift from pre-war price levels of around $70 per barrel, exerting significant margin pressure on domestic fuel refiners and distributors. While public sector fuel retailers have maintained price stability since May—when prices were revised upward in four consecutive rounds—private market players including Nayara Energy and Jio-BP have already enacted two rounds of revisions this year, including a previous hike of ₹5 per liter on petrol and ₹3 per liter on diesel.
