The price hike comes amid concerns over potential disruptions to crude oil shipments and rising transportation costs linked to instability in the Gulf region, a key energy source for India.
Officials and market analysts said the increase reflects higher import costs as global crude prices remain under pressure due to geopolitical tensions and uncertainty surrounding major shipping routes.
India, one of the world’s largest oil importers, remains heavily dependent on Middle Eastern energy supplies, making its domestic fuel market sensitive to regional developments.
The rise in fuel prices is expected to add pressure on inflation and transportation costs, with economic implications for businesses and consumers across the country.
