Oil marketing companies kept petrol and diesel prices unchanged on Saturday, September 5, even as international crude oil prices moved close to the $100-per-barrel mark.
Petrol Diesel Price Today, September 5: Petrol and diesel prices remained unchanged across major Indian cities on Saturday, offering some relief to consumers. Oil marketing companies typically revise fuel prices every morning at 6 am.
While there was no change in retail fuel rates today, rising international crude oil prices remain a key factor to watch. Brent crude has moved close to $100 per barrel, raising concerns about the possible impact of higher global oil prices on fuel markets.

Crude Oil Prices Move Higher
International crude oil prices have recently climbed to levels not seen since late July.
Brent crude rose 0.31% to $95.33 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) gained 0.14% to $90.88 per barrel in the reported session.
The increase in crude prices is important for oil-importing countries such as India because global oil prices can influence domestic fuel costs, although retail petrol and diesel prices are also affected by taxes, currency movements and other factors.

Why Are Petrol and Diesel Prices Important Today?
The unchanged domestic fuel prices come at a time when crude oil is trading significantly higher internationally.
For consumers, sustained increases in crude oil prices can put pressure on transportation and logistics costs. However, changes in international crude do not necessarily translate into an immediate change in retail petrol and diesel prices.
Oil marketing companies consider several factors while determining domestic fuel prices.
