About diesel prices in Kanpur
Today's diesel rate in Kanpur
Diesel in Kanpur costs ₹95.60 a litre today, with diesel at ₹102.53 — a gap of ₹6.93/L. The rate has been in effect since 15 Jun 2026.

Why Kanpur's price differs from other cities
The base refinery cost, central excise (₹15.80/L) and dealer commission (₹2.58/L) are the same across India. What makes Kanpur different is Uttar Pradesh's VAT — about ₹13.94 a litre here — plus a little local freight. That is why a tankful in Kanpur can cost more or less than the same fuel in a neighbouring state.
