About petrol prices in Varanasi
Today's petrol rate in Varanasi
Petrol in Varanasi costs ₹102.79 a litre today, with diesel at ₹95.84 — a gap of ₹6.95/L. The rate has been in effect since 15 Jun 2026.

Why Varanasi'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 Varanasi different is Uttar Pradesh's VAT — about ₹16.67 a litre here — plus a little local freight. That is why a tankful in Varanasi can cost more or less than the same fuel in a neighbouring state.
