In Mumbai, Maharashtra, fuel prices have seen a notable increase following a nationwide adjustment by oil marketing companies due to rising global crude oil prices and supply concerns stemming from conflicts in West Asia. As of May 15, petrol is priced at ₹106.64 per litre, up ₹3.10, while diesel costs ₹93.14, reflecting a ₹3.11 increase. This adjustment places Mumbai among the cities with the highest fuel prices in India. The increase is exacerbated by international tensions affecting oil supply routes, particularly the Strait of Hormuz. The Indian government, recognizing the financial strain on consumers, has encouraged the public to limit fuel usage and utilize public transport to mitigate rising energy demands and costs. Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri has indicated that continued high international prices could lead to further adjustments in domestic fuel rates.
