Nayara Energy raises petrol prices by Rs 5 and diesel by Rs 3 per litre as global crude oil and fuel product prices increase.
Private fuel retailer Nayara Energy has increased petrol prices by Rs 5 per litre and diesel prices by Rs 3 per litre across its nationwide network. The revised prices came into effect on Saturday, according to industry sources, as higher global crude oil and refined fuel prices put pressure on retail margins.
The latest move affects the company’s more than 7,000 fuel stations across India. The price revision is aimed at narrowing the gap between retail selling prices and rising fuel procurement costs.
Second Fuel Price Revision by Nayara Energy This Year
The latest increase marks the second major fuel price revision by Nayara Energy in 2026. The company had earlier raised petrol and diesel prices by similar amounts in March following supply disruptions linked to tensions in the Middle East.
The March hike was later rolled back in July after international crude oil prices moderated. With global energy prices rising again, Nayara Energy has once again revised its retail fuel rates.

State-Owned Fuel Retailers Maintain Stable Prices
The latest price increase comes as state-owned oil marketing companies have largely kept petrol and diesel retail prices unchanged. These government-owned fuel retailers operate more than 90 per cent of India’s over 104,000 petrol pumps.
The difference in pricing has brought renewed attention to the contrasting approaches of private and state-owned fuel retailers amid fluctuations in global crude oil and petroleum product prices.
Earlier this week, the government also said that private fuel retailers should not restrict the sale of petrol and diesel.
Commercial LPG Prices Also Increased
The changes in fuel prices come alongside a recent increase in commercial LPG rates. State-owned oil marketing companies raised the price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder by Rs 62.50 from October.
However, the price of domestic LPG has remained unchanged at Rs 942 per cylinder.
Commercial LPG prices had also increased by Rs 9.50 in September, following reductions of Rs 192 in August and Rs 183.50 in July. Between February and June, the price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder had risen by Rs 1,373, moving from Rs 1,740.50 to Rs 3,113.50 before declining during July and August.
ATF Prices Rise Further
Aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices have also witnessed a sharp increase. Domestic airlines are now paying around Rs 137 per litre, compared with Rs 121 per litre previously, reflecting an increase of Rs 16 per litre.
The latest rise follows an increase of Rs 6.28 per litre, or 5.46 per cent, in September. ATF prices had also increased by Rs 5 per litre in August.
Global Energy Prices Remain a Key Factor
The latest decision by Nayara Energy comes against the backdrop of changes in international crude oil and refined petroleum product prices. Private fuel retailers have greater exposure to movements in procurement costs, which can influence their retail pricing decisions.
With Nayara Energy raising petrol and diesel rates while state-owned fuel retailers have largely maintained existing prices, consumers may see different fuel prices depending on the outlet and retailer. The latest revision also highlights the impact of global energy market movements on India’s domestic fuel market.
