Fuel Prices Today, 10 April 2026: Fuel prices in India have remained steady at the pump for petrol and diesel despite significant volatility in global crude oil markets following the US-Iran ceasefire announcement. While crude plummeted initially, uncertainty over the durability of the truce and the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz has pushed prices back toward the $100/barrel mark. Retail rates for petrol and diesel have not seen a fresh revision today across major metros.

Recent Market Volatility
Prices have undergone a massive “whiplash” effect this week:
- The Crash (8 April): Oil prices plunged by approximately 15% to 16.5%—the biggest one-day drop since 2020—immediately after the ceasefire agreement was announced
- The Rebound (9-10 April): Prices recouped some losses, rising over 3% to 8% in subsequent sessions as “jitters” emerged regarding the durability of the truce and limited ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz
Key Market Drivers
Fragile Ceasefire
- While a two-week pause is in place, Israel has continued strikes on Beirut, leading Tehran to warn of “regret-inducing responses,” which maintains a persistent geopolitical risk premium
- The fragile nature of the truce keeps oil markets on edge
Strait of Hormuz
- Transit remains cautious. Despite the agreement to allow safe passage, many shipping firms like Maersk are taking a “cautious approach,” keeping global supplies tight
- Just 5 vessels passed compared to the pre-war average of 140
Infrastructure Damage
- Analysts at Rystad Energy warn that even with a lasting peace, it could take years and over $25 billion to repair the energy and industrial infrastructure targeted during the conflict
Why Domestic Prices Aren’t Moving
Retail petrol and diesel prices have now remained unchanged for several weeks despite the international crude oil crash following the US-Iran ceasefire. State-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) like IOCL and BPCL are maintaining steady rates to manage inflationary pressures while monitoring the durability of the truce.
Key Factors:
- OMCs are using the excise duty cut (₹10/L announced March 27) to offset past losses
- A 15-day average pricing mechanism delays the impact of volatile crude swings
- Government keen to avoid inflationary pressure ahead of state elections
What This Means for Consumers
- Regular Fuel: Petrol and diesel remain stable at state-run pumps; no immediate revision expected
- Premium Fuel: XP100 users pay ₹160/L in Delhi—an ₹11 jump from pre-ceasefire levels
- Commercial LPG: Restaurants and small businesses face ₹2,078.50 per 19kg cylinder
- ATF: Record jet fuel prices may push airfares higher in coming weeks
