Chennai Petrol Price Hits Record High on International Crude Oil Rates
India's current petrol price stands at Rs 107.74 per litre in Chennai as of August 16, 2026.
This is based on data from Hindustan Times, which shows that the price has remained constant over the past few days, with slight variations across different cities.
The country imports about 80% of its oil needs, making domestic pump rates dependent on international prices as denominated by the Indian basket of crude oil.
