SRINAGAR: 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 premium fuels sold by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited, and Indian Oil Corporation Limited have witnessed a price rise ranging between Rs 2.09 and Rs 2.35 per litre.
The revised rates apply to high-performance petrol variants, including BPCL’s Speed, HPCL’s Power, and IOCL’s XP95, which are marketed as premium fuels offering enhanced engine efficiency.
