Petrol Diesel Price Today: After the latest bombing in the Gulf countries, today i.e. on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, a rise in the prices of Brent crude and WTI crude was recorded in the global market. It is a matter of relief for Indian consumers that on the domestic front, government oil companies have not made any change in the retail prices of petrol and diesel even today. However, due to continuous increase in cost of crude oil in the international market, oil companies are facing huge losses of about Rs 750 crore every day.
Crude oil rises due to West Asia crisis
The direct impact of the continuously increasing geopolitical tension in West Asia is visible on the global energy market. After the bombings in Gulf countries yesterday, crude oil prices rose sharply in early trading on Wednesday morning. According to the data at 6 am, the price of Brent crude rose by 1.00 percent or $ 0.91 per barrel to reach $ 92.36. Similarly, the standard WTI crude of the American market was also seen trading at $ 89.05 per barrel with a rise of 0.96 percent. The most worrying thing from India’s point of view is that the price of Indian Basket Crude has also jumped by 1.31 percent ($1.26) to reach $97.19 per barrel. Ever since the Iran war started, crude oil prices have increased by about 50 percent.
Prices were increased four times in May
Even though fuel prices in the country have remained stable for the last few days, the general public got a big shock of inflation in the last month i.e. May. As soon as the assembly elections of five states were over, the government petroleum companies started changing the prices. Oil companies had increased fuel prices four times in just 11 days.
First of all, on May 15, 2026, petrol was made costlier by Rs 3 and diesel by Rs 3.29. After this, on May 19 and May 23, petrol was increased by 87 paise per liter and diesel by 91 paise per liter. The last time petrol became costlier by Rs 2.61 and diesel by Rs 2.71 per liter was on May 25, 2026. However, no change has been seen in prices since that date till date.

Increasing financial burden on oil companies
This huge rise in international prices of crude oil is directly impacting the financial health of the country’s government oil companies. Crude oil prices are continuously strengthening in the global market, but retail prices are not being increased to control inflation in the domestic market. According to an estimate, due to the increasing difference in cost and selling price, government oil companies are incurring a daily loss of about Rs 750 crore on petrol, diesel, LPG and jet fuel. Market experts believe that if the global tension does not calm down soon, the burden on common consumers may increase in the coming days.
