India Keeps Petrol and Diesel Prices Stable Amid Brent Oil Weekly Gains
Petrol and diesel prices in India remained unchanged on 4 and 5 September despite Brent crude oil recording its largest weekly gains since July. State-run Oil Marketing Companies maintained stable fuel rates following the dynamic pricing method, with the last price revision occurring on 25 May. Market volatility is influenced by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including the US-Iran conflict and disruptions near the Strait of Hormuz, though current oil price increases are described as driven mainly by risk perceptions rather than supply constraints.
