Petrol Diesel Price: Crude oil became very cheap, but Iran’s new move shocked the senses! Know what is the price of petrol and diesel in your city today

me.sumitji@gmail.com 19 Jun 2026 1 hour ago

A very interesting and shocking news is coming out from the international market. On one hand, there is a continuous decline in the prices of crude oil at the global level, while on the other hand, the transportation cost of bringing it from abroad to India has suddenly increased a lot. Even though the war has come to a complete halt amid the ongoing tension in West Asia, Iran has now created a new tension for oil companies around the world by indicating that it will charge heavy toll on the sea route through the Strait of Hormuz. Despite all these international upheavals, Indian government oil companies have given great relief to the general public of the country today, Friday, June 19, 2026. Today there has been no change in the prices of petrol and diesel and fuel prices remain completely stable across the country.

Iran's new maneuver increases shipping costs heavily

The ongoing war between America and Iran may have stopped, but the clouds of crisis over this entire region have not yet completely dissipated. To compensate for its huge economic losses due to the war, Iran is now expressing its intention to impose heavy toll taxes on ships passing through the Sea of ​​Hormuz. This has had a direct and major impact on international transportation, due to which the shipping cost of cargo ships is reported to have increased significantly. However, it is a matter of relief that even amidst this crisis, crude oil has become cheaper in the global market. In early trade this morning, Brent crude fell by 1.33 percent ($ 1.06) to $ 78.79 per barrel. At the same time, WTI Crude was also seen trading at $ 75.03 per barrel with a decline of 1.08 percent ($ 0.82).

just last month The public had to face a big shock due to inflation. Even though today the fuel prices at the petrol pumps of the country seem to be completely calm and stable, the truth is that a huge burden of inflation has been put on the common man's pocket in the last month itself. Even though the prices of petrol and diesel have not changed in India since May 25, you will remember that as soon as the results of the assembly elections of five states came, the prices were increased very aggressively four times in just 11 days in the month of May. Government oil companies first made a huge increase of Rs 3 in petrol and Rs 3.29 in diesel on May 15, 2026. Immediately after this, on May 19, petrol was made costlier by 87-91 paise, on May 23 again by 87-91 paise and finally on May 25, petrol was made costlier by Rs 2.61 and diesel by Rs 2.71 per litre.

The country's oil companies are suffering huge losses of crores of rupees every day. When the Iran crisis started in West Asia, there was a huge jump in the prices of crude oil by about 50 percent. Now, even though there is some softening of crude prices in the global market, the economic impact and pressure of expensive crude oil purchased earlier still remains on the balance sheets of oil companies. According to an estimate of experts, due to the increased old prices of crude oil and now increased shipping expenses, Indian government oil companies are facing huge economic loss of about Rs 750 crore every day on prices ranging from petrol, diesel, aviation turbine fuel (ie airplane fuel) to cooking gas (LPG).
