As of June 8, petrol prices in India continue to hover above ₹100 per litre in several major cities, including New Delhi at ₹102.12, Kolkata at ₹113.47, and Mumbai at ₹111.21. Diesel prices are also significant, with New Delhi's rate at ₹95.20 per litre. The increase in fuel prices is attributed to ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. Additionally, the price of a 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder in Delhi has risen by ₹29, now costing ₹942. This marks the second increase in three months, leading to criticism from opposition parties who argue that these hikes further strain households already facing inflation.
