Today’s petrol price in Hyderabad is ₹115.73 per litre and diesel is ₹115.73 per litre (as of 9 June 2026). Prices update every day at 6:00 AM. That makes Hyderabad, a Tier 1 metro in Telangana, about ₹13.61/litre costlier than Delhi (₹102.12).
Telangana levies the highest petrol VAT among the big metros, so Hyderabad is usually the most expensive metro to fill up in.
What makes up the petrol price in Hyderabad
Every litre of petrol in Hyderabad carries two central charges that are the same across India, plus Telangana’s own state tax on top. Telangana levies approximately 35.20% on petrol, and that state slab is the single biggest reason Hyderabad prices differ from a city like Delhi.
| Component | Amount (₹/litre) |
|---|---|
| Base price (ex-refinery) | ~56.00 |
| Central excise duty | 19.90 |
| Telangana state tax (VAT/cess) | ~35.96 |
| Dealer commission | ~3.87 |
| Total pump price | ~115.73 |
The base price and excise duty are fixed nationally. State tax is the variable layer, so two cities can sell the same fuel at very different pump prices purely because of state politics.
Petrol price history in Hyderabad (recent months)
| Month | Petrol (₹/L) | Diesel (₹/L) |
|---|---|---|
| June 2026 | 115.73 | 115.73 |
| May 2026 | 115.73 | 115.73 |
| April 2026 | 115.73 | 115.73 |
| March 2026 | 115.73 | 115.73 |
| February 2026 | 115.73 | 115.73 |
Pump prices across India have been broadly stable since the May 2022 excise cut, when fuel was reduced by about ₹8/litre nationally. Daily revisions by the oil marketing companies have stayed small since then, so the Hyderabad figure moves only in paise on most days.
Monthly fuel cost for Hyderabad commuters
At ₹115.73/litre, here is what 1,000 km a month costs on common vehicles. The formula is simple: monthly fuel cost = (monthly km ÷ mileage) × petrol price.
