[00:02:00]I did expected I was expecting price rise of almost 20 rupees and I think this is very minimum the government has to increase. So, I don't think there is any effect on the sales. It has already impacted not just diesel and petrol fuel but many other things have already impacted. To the people like to the citizens of India it is really impacting because our economy is dependent on fuel.

[00:03:10]But very soon because of the fuel prices that is increasing every now and then, the transportation cost is also increasing. Due to that 40% of the cost for the shopkeepers will very soon go up which will be passed down to the consumers that is you. So, the prices of the vegetables, milk, the daily essential items that you use on your household kitchen will soon be increased is what the experts have warned in the coming days.
