About diesel prices in Kochi
Today's diesel rate in Kochi
Diesel in Kochi costs ₹103.43 a litre today, with diesel at ₹114.99 — a gap of ₹11.56/L. The rate has been in effect since 15 Jun 2026. Oil companies can revise prices every morning at 6 a.m., but they only move when global crude and the rupee shift, so Kochi's rate often holds steady for several days.
Why Kochi'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 Kochi different is Kerala's VAT — about ₹21.77 a litre here — plus a little local freight. That is why a tankful in Kochi can cost more or less than the same fuel in a neighbouring state.
What a full tank costs in Kochi
