The fuel prices have been kept at the same rate across various metropolitan cities in India on Thursday, 26 March 2026.

“Domestic PNG connections are a top priority for the Government of India, and 100% of them are being supplied. Similarly, CNG used for transportation is also being made available to 100% of consumers,” Sujata Sharma, Joint Secretary (Marketing & Oil Refinery), Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, said.
She added that India has the capacity to refine around 26 crore tonnes of crude oil annually, noting that queues and panic buying had been observed at some retail outlets over the past two days. The government also warned against hoarding and black marketing of fuel.
