Kolkata, May 02: The retail prices of Petrol, Diesel and domestic LPG (14.2 kg cylinders) have remained unchanged, fully insulating domestic consumers from the recent increase in international fuel prices.
As part of this consumer-centric approach, there has been no change in key fuels affecting the general public:
- Retail prices of Petrol and Diesel remain unchanged for the general public, which constitutes around 90% of total consumption
- No change in domestic LPG prices for 33 crore consumers
- No change in ATF prices for domestic airlines
- No change in PDS Kerosene prices
Overall, approximately 80% of petroleum products have witnessed no change in prices, ensuring stability for the majority of consumers.
Price revisions have been limited to select industrial segments, including bulk and commercial LPG, bulk diesel, and ATF for international operations, which are subject to routine adjustments based on global trends.
At the same time, around 4% of petroleum products have seen a downward revision, reflecting the dynamic nature of international price movements.
These measures reflect a calibrated and balanced approach adopted by Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs), under the guidance of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, to align with global market trends while protecting domestic consumers.
Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL), as a key Oil Marketing Company, continues to play a pivotal role in implementing this consumer-first strategy on the ground.
HPCL has ensured seamless availability of Petrol, Diesel, and LPG across its nationwide network, while absorbing global price pressures to protect end consumers. Through its robust supply chain, digital-first systems, and extensive distribution infrastructure, the company continues to maintain price stability alongside uninterrupted fuel availability.
HPCL reaffirmed its commitment to balancing global market realities with national priorities, ensuring that consumers remain insulated from volatility while maintaining reliability and efficiency across its operations.
