Petrol-Diesel Prices Today: No Change in Fuel Rates Across Maharashtra

The prices of petrol and diesel remained stable across Maharashtra as of today, June 3, offering some relief to consumers amid ongoing inflation. The latest fuel prices were announced this morning at 6 AM, with no change in the existing rates.

For the common man, especially the middle class, fuel prices significantly impact household budgets. In this context, the unchanged rates bring a welcome breather from financial stress.

Current Fuel Prices in Maharashtra

According to the official announcement:

• Petrol price in Thane: ₹103.72 per litre

• Diesel price in Thane: ₹90.24 per litre

Similar rates are applicable across the Konkan and Vidarbha regions, with only minor regional variations due to local taxes and freight charges. These prices have been implemented across the entire state from this morning.

Why Fuel Prices Fluctuate

Fuel prices in India are dynamic and often influenced by global crude oil rates, refining costs, freight charges, and state-specific taxes such as VAT (Value Added Tax). Any shift in these factors can result in corresponding changes in retail fuel prices.

However, today's stability in pricing suggests that fluctuations in the international crude oil market have not yet impacted domestic rates significantly.
