In Mumbai, fuel rates continue to be the highest among the metro cities; petrol is priced at ₹ 108.67 per litre and diesel is ₹ 98.80 per litre.

State-run oil refiners such as Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum revise the fuel rates on a daily basis, by taking into account the crude oil prices in international markets, and the rupee-dollar exchange rates. Any changes in petrol and diesel prices are implemented with effect from 6 am every day.
