Nayara Energy Raises Petrol by Rs 5 and Diesel by Rs 3 Amid Rising Global Oil Prices
Nayara Energy, India's largest private fuel retailer, has increased petrol prices by Rs 5 per litre and diesel by Rs 3 per litre across its over 7,000 fuel stations effective October 3. This marks the company's second price hike this year, following a similar increase in March that was reversed in July after crude prices eased. The rise aims to narrow the gap between retail prices and higher international crude and refined-product costs. State-owned fuel retailers, controlling over 90% of pumps, have largely kept prices stable despite global fluctuations. The government has advised private retailers against restricting fuel sales amid concerns over supply pressures.
