New Delhi: Despite the festive spirit of Holi, there was no change in petrol and diesel prices in India. After early optimism about potential price drops, the reality of Middle Eastern wars and conflicts between Iran and the U.S./Israel has led to an uncertain future for Indian consumers.
Constrained by the current geopolitical tensions, India might have to turn to other oil-producing countries, elevating the cost of crude oil imports. Consequently, this could result in an increase in petrol and diesel prices, raising apprehensions among the public.
Consumers are advised to keep an eye on the fuel prices in major Indian cities, which remain unchanged at Rs. 94.72 per litre for petrol and Rs. 87.62 per litre for diesel in New Delhi. In Mumbai, the prices stand at Rs. 104.21 for petrol and Rs. 92.15 per litre for diesel. Similarly, in Kolkata, petrol costs are Rs. 103.94 per litre, while diesel is at Rs. 90.76 per litre. These rates for petrol and diesel remain unaffected by the current global events.
