On Saturday, petrol and diesel prices were raised across major metropolitan cities in India for the third time in less than ten days. In Delhi, petrol now costs ₹99.51 per litre, and diesel is priced at ₹92.49 per litre. Other cities also saw significant increases, with Kolkata's petrol reaching ₹110.64 and diesel ₹97.02, while in Mumbai, petrol hit ₹108.49 and diesel ₹95.02. Chennai reported petrol prices at ₹105.31 and diesel at ₹96.98 per litre. The price hikes are attributed to ongoing volatility in global energy markets, particularly due to geopolitical tensions in West Asia, which have caused Brent crude oil prices to hover above $100 per barrel. Despite these increases, the Indian government asserts that there is no fuel shortage, maintaining adequate energy supplies. The recent price adjustments come after a series of hikes earlier this week, reflecting the ongoing energy crisis exacerbated by conflicts affecting major oil supply routes.
