India’s Petrol and Diesel Prices Stable Amid West Asia Tensions and Global Crude Fluctuations
Retail petrol and diesel prices in India remained largely stable on 26 and 27 July, following the last major revision on 25 May. Despite recent geopolitical tensions in West Asia, including US strikes on Iran and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and Red Sea, domestic fuel rates were insulated from global crude price fluctuations by state-run oil marketing companies. India’s 23 refineries continue to meet domestic demand and export petroleum products, supporting global energy supply chains amid ongoing regional conflicts.
