Premium petrol prices have been increased by Rs 2 to Rs 2.3 per litre by oil marketing companies, according to a report by CNBC-Awaaz, with the revision taking effect from March 20, 2026.
The hike applies to branded fuel variants such as HPCL’s Power petrol and IOCL’s XP95, media reports said citing dealer sources. These premium fuels are typically marketed for improved engine performance and enhanced fuel efficiency.
The price adjustment comes amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in West Asia, which have influenced global fuel markets and input costs.
Prices of regular petrol, however, have not been revised and continue to remain unchanged.
