Petrol, diesel prices unchanged on November 14: Check fuel prices in Delhi, Mumbai and other cities

Fuel prices today, November 14: Petrol and diesel prices remained unchanged on Saturday (November 14) in major cities and states including New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Gurugram. However, petrol prices fell marginally in Patna, where the rate fell ₹113.35 from ₹113.37.

Fuel prices have remained largely stable since early November, even after the central government scrapped an additional excise duty on petrol exports.

As the conflict between the US and Iran continues since February this year, global energy markets have been shaken. However, Indian consumers have so far been shielded from the impact of rising oil prices due to tensions in the Middle East as domestic fuel retailers continue to keep pump prices steady.

Fuel prices vary by state and city due to differences in state taxes, particularly value added tax (VAT), transportation costs and other local charges.

A decade-long effort has strengthened India’s energy security: PM Modi

On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said initiatives taken over the past decade to strengthen India’s energy security have helped the country confidently face challenges arising from the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. He also highlighted the progress made in the country’s power sector over the years.

PM Modi made these remarks during events in Bengaluru and Mysuru where he launched projects and laid foundation stones for development initiatives worth more than ₹15,600 crore through Karnataka. These projects span several sectors, including energy and railways. He also highlighted the country’s achievements in the space sector.

Among the initiatives launched by the Prime Minister was the Namma Metro Pink Line in Bengaluru. After canceling the service along with Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, Modi traveled with him on the newly commissioned metro line.

Oil prices fluctuate as traders assess the state of war talks between the US and Iran

Oil prices were mixed on Friday (local time) as traders weighed mixed signals on the prospects for peace talks between the US and Iran.

Brent crude traded in a $2 range before ending the session almost unchanged at around $96 a barrel. Meanwhile, West Texas Intermediate settled at around $88.50. US President Donald Trump has asked Vice President JD Vance to prioritize domestic issues over talks with Tehran, throwing into doubt the progress of back-channel negotiations and dampening hopes for a diplomatic solution to the conflict.

Global benchmark Brent also posted its second straight weekly decline after hitting a six-month high in late October. Prices came under pressure from increased oil flows from the Middle East and speculation that a Democratic victory in the US election could accelerate efforts to end the conflict with Iran.
