“Fuel Prices Rise Again”: Petrol, Diesel Rates Hiked Across India Amid Global Oil Surge

Fuel prices across India have been hiked again, with petrol and diesel rates increasing by around 90 paise per litre across major cities. This marks the second hike within a week, following an earlier ₹3 per litre increase. The surge is being driven by rising global crude oil prices amid ongoing tensions in West Asia and disruptions in key trade routes like the Strait of Hormuz. While the government has assured that fuel supplies remain stable, the repeated hikes are adding pressure on consumers and raising concerns over inflation.
