Fuel prices
Petrol and diesel prices in India are revised daily based on fluctuations in international crude oil prices and movements in the rupee-dollar exchange rate. Updated rates come into effect every morning at 6 am, which means prices can change from one day to the next.
Whether planning a daily commute or preparing for a long road trip, checking fuel rates before refuelling can help consumers make informed decisions.
Here are three simple ways to check petrol and diesel prices in your city.
1. Check Fuel Prices Through SMS
One of the easiest and most accessible methods is through SMS, particularly for users without smartphones or internet access.
To receive fuel prices for your location, send:
RSP
to 92249 92249
For example, consumers in Mumbai can send RSP 108412 to the same number.
Dealer codes are usually displayed at fuel stations and are also available on IndianOil's official website. Users should note that prices received through SMS are indicative and may differ slightly between fuel outlets within the same city.
