What is the story about?
Fuel prices are back in focus after another round of hikes within a week, as tensions linked to the ongoing United States-Iran conflict continue to disrupt
global energy markets. Petrol prices have now been increased by Rs 0.86 per litre, while diesel rates have gone up by Rs 0.83 per litre. The latest revision comes shortly after the May 15 fuel price hike, when petrol, diesel and CNG prices were raised by Rs 3 per litre. The repeated increase is being driven by a sharp surge in international crude oil prices amid escalating tensions in the Middle East and fears surrounding supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz region.

In India, fuel prices had largely remained stable for nearly four years before the recent geopolitical crisis triggered fresh pressure on oil marketing companies. Reports suggest these companies were facing daily losses of nearly Rs 1,000 crore after crude prices spiked following the outbreak of the conflict.
The impact of rising fuel prices is now being felt across sectors, from private vehicle owners and transport operators to households dependent on PNG and LPG for cooking needs. Daily commuters using CNG vehicles are also expected to see higher transportation costs in the coming days.
