Petrol, diesel, LPG rates today on May 28:
While there has been no fresh hike in petrol and diesel prices today, May 28, concerns are mounting over another possible revision as state-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) continue to face heavy under-recoveries despite four rounds of fuel price rises this month.
Petrol and diesel prices have been raised four times in May, with cumulative increases of around Rs 7.5 per litre, but a latest report suggests retail fuel rates in Delhi still remain near Rs 13 per liter below estimated break-even levels for OMCs.
The pressure on fuel retailers comes amid heightened global crude oil prices and geopolitical tensions in West Asia, raising fears that consumers may have to brace for further hikes in the coming days.
Earlier oil marketing companies were incurring a loss of Rs 1,000 crore per day, but after recent price hikes, the loss is still at slightly below Rs 600 crore,” Sujata Sharma, Joint Secretary at the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, had told reporters during an inter-ministerial brief on the West Asia conflict.
Petro and diesel prices across India remained largely unchanged on Thursday, 28 May. Prices across India rose sharply in May, with oil marketing companies (OMCs) executing four hikes between 15 and 25 May. Fuel rates in metro cities and several state capitals saw little to no movement Thursday despite volatility in global crude oil markets.
The cumulative increase of ₹7-8 per liter reflects global crude oil instability and geopolitical tensions in West Asia.
The hike has pushed petrol prices above the ₹100-per-liter mark in several cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad, while diesel prices have also climbed sharply.
Brent crude traded near multi-month highs amid concerns over potential supply disruptions in key oil-producing regions. Global brokerage firms, including Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan, have warned that crude oil prices may remain unstable if geopolitical tensions persist.
Higher fuel costs may impact household budgets
Economists have cautioned that sustained fuel inflation could ultimately raise transportation and logistics costs, which may feed into broader consumer inflation.
Speaking to LiveMint, Madhavi Arora, lead economist at Emkay Global Financial Services, said higher fuel prices could increase supply chain and cargo expenses across sectors. Madan Sabnavis, chief economist at Bank of Baroda, also said that elevated diesel prices tend to have a wider inflationary impact because of diesel’s role in goods transportation and agriculture.
The impact is expected to be especially significant for logistics operators, trucking companies and app-based delivery platforms, where fuel accounts for a major share of operating expenses. Industry executives have indicated that any prolonged increase in diesel prices could eventually translate into higher freight charges.
Meanwhile, fuel stations in parts of Maharashtra witness a surge in demand following the latest price hikes. According to a report by The Times of India, petrol sales in Nagpur rose 16% while diesel sales increased 19% compared to usual levels, leading to long queues at numerous fuel pumps across the city. State officials later clarified that fuel supplies remained adequate and appealed to consumers to avoid unnecessary bulk purchases.
The latest increase comes at a time when households are already grappling with elevated food prices and high living costs. Higher petrol and diesel prices directly impact commuters, public transportation operators and businesses dependent on transportation, adding further pressure to monthly expenses.
Petrol and diesel prices in India are amended daily by Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum based on global benchmark prices and foreign exchange rates.
