The revised rates apply to high-performance fuel variants such as BPCL’s Speed, HPCL’s Power, and IOCL’s XP95. The price hike ranges between ₹2.09 and ₹2.35 per litre. Despite the increase in premium fuels, regular petrol prices remain stable, according to official updates.
The adjustment comes at a time of heightened volatility in global energy markets, driven largely by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. In particular, the ongoing conflict involving Iran has significantly impacted crude oil supply dynamics.
