Nayara Energy reduces retail fuel prices across India, cutting petrol by ₹5 per litre and diesel by ₹3 per litre. Multiple outlets report the change is effective from Wednesday at Nayara’s network of more than 7,000 fuel stations. The companies’ statements and industry sources cited by outlets say the move is linked to easing tensions in West Asia and a retreat in international crude oil prices, alongside improved supplies after the reopening of a key maritime route. As a result, concerns about supply disruptions ease and global costs for petroleum products come down.

Sources also note that the final pump price can vary by state because local taxes and levies—such as value-added tax (VAT)—differ across jurisdictions. While Nayara passes on the benefit of lower global rates, state-run fuel retailers keep their prices unchanged. Outlets specifically mention Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL), which collectively operate the majority of India’s fuel stations. Some reports also describe that Nayara had previously raised prices in late March following the Iran-related oil price spike, making Wednesday’s cut effectively reverse that earlier increase.
