Bank holidays, fuel, weather — the practical questions of a normal week.
India bank holidays
All-India bank holidays that do not move are 26 January (Republic Day), 15 August (Independence Day), and 2 October (Gandhi Jayanti). Most other bank holidays — including Diwali, regional festivals, and state foundation days — are notified by RBI / state bankers' associations and differ by state. Janooji will not invent a 2026 city-wise list.
How petrol and diesel prices work in India
There is no one petrol price for India. Oil companies revise city retail prices, typically daily, based on international oil, the rupee, central excise, and state VAT. Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and a district town can all differ on the same morning.
How to read an India weather forecast
For warnings — heat, cyclone, heavy rain — use the India Meteorological Department, not a screenshot from a phone widget. City apps often show a different station or model than the observatory IMD used for the warning.
