Petrol Diesel Price : The wait is finally over. The petrol and diesel price are revealed in March 30 Sunday. The cost of diesel and petrol in India is determined by a dynamic fuel pricing system. This system takes various factors into account before setting prices, including the exchange rate of the US dollar against the rupee, crude oil costs, global crises, and rising fuel demand.

 

Crude oil prices can be quite volatile. Right now, they are hovering between $70 and $74 per barrel. On March 30, 2025, oil companies have announced the latest petrol and diesel prices. Let’s check out the current rates in major cities and some selected areas across the country.

 

Recently, crude oil prices dropped by Rs 10 to Rs 5,985 per barrel in futures trading on Friday, as traders adjusted their positions due to a downturn in foreign markets. The April delivery contract for crude oil on the Multi Commodity Exchange decreased by Rs 10, or 0.17%, to Rs 5,985 per barrel, with 5,301 lots traded.
