Petrol, Diesel, CNG Prices on July 12, 2026: Prices of petrol, diesel and CNG remained unchanged on Sunday, July 12, 2026. Oil marketing companies (OMCs) and natural gas distribution companies revise the fuel prices at 6 am every day.
Crude oil prices were holding relatively steady, even after a series of unclaimed airstrikes hit Iran after the US said it had finished its attacks. The price for a barrel of Brent crude oil, the international standard, rose 0.2 per cent to $76.47. That’s above the $72 it was at the start of the week, when it was back below its level from before the war with Iran, but it’s still well below its wartime peak of nearly $120. The worry is that continued fighting could block oil tankers from the Strait of Hormuz and prevent
the delivery of crude from the Persian Gulf to customers worldwide.
