Mumbai, Apr 11: Jio-bp has clarified that it will not be increasing petrol and diesel prices, offering relief to consumers amid concerns over fuel price fluctuations in the domestic and global markets.

The company, a joint venture between Reliance Industries and BP (British Petroleum), said it is maintaining its current retail fuel prices across its network and has no immediate plans for revision. The clarification comes at a time when global crude oil prices have
been witnessing volatility due to geopolitical tensions, supply concerns, and fluctuating demand trends.

Despite pressure from international market movements, Jio-bp said its pricing strategy is aimed at ensuring stability for customers while maintaining competitiveness in India’s retail fuel sector. The company operates fuel stations across multiple states and competes with major public sector oil marketing companies as well as private retailers.

Fuel prices in India are influenced by several factors, including international crude oil rates, currency exchange fluctuations, taxation structure, and supply chain costs. Industry watchers note that while global prices often lead to expectations of revision in domestic fuel rates, individual companies may choose to absorb short-term variations to maintain market stability.

The announcement is expected to bring short-term relief to motorists and transport operators who remain sensitive to fuel price changes, especially in the current economic environment.
