Petrol and diesel prices are relatively stable after May 2022 due to tax cuts by the central and several state governments. Although global crude oil prices continue to fluctuate, their impact is limited in India.
Experts believe that fuel prices will depend on international crude oil prices and the dollar-rupee exchange rate in the future. If global prices rise, their impact could be felt in India as well.
Motorists are advised to check petrol and diesel prices daily and plan their travel and expenses accordingly. This can help maintain a balanced budget amid rising inflation.
