About petrol prices in Chennai
Today's petrol rate in Chennai
Petrol in Chennai costs ₹108.34 a litre today, with diesel at ₹100.05 — a gap of ₹8.29/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 Chennai's rate often holds steady for several days.
Why Chennai's price differs from other cities
The base refinery cost, central excise (₹19.90/L) and dealer commission (₹3.77/L) are the same across India. What makes Chennai different is Tamil Nadu's VAT — about ₹22.66 a litre here — plus a little local freight. That is why a tankful in Chennai can cost more or less than the same fuel in a neighbouring state.
