Indian Fuel Prices Steady Amid Rising Global Crude and Middle East Tensions
Petrol, diesel, CNG, and LPG prices across major Indian cities remained unchanged on September 28 and 29 despite rising global crude oil prices amid ongoing US-Iran tensions. Brent crude futures rose above $105 per barrel, driven by conflict concerns, while crude exports from Middle Eastern producers increased to 12.8 million barrels per day. Indian fuel prices vary by city due to state taxes and local costs, with daily revisions occurring at 6 am under a dynamic pricing system.
