According to analysts cited by Reuters, a sustained rise in crude oil prices could have a cascading impact on retail inflation, transportation expenses, and overall household budgets. The latest revision comes amid elevated crude oil prices driven by ongoing geopolitical tensions in West Asia and supply concerns around the state of Hormos.
Brent crude prices have remained above $110 per barrel mark in recent sessions, increasing pressure on fuel retailers and India's import bill. According to the report by the economic times, despite last week's 3 rupees per liter hike, state-run oil marketing companies continue to face significant underreoveries on the sale of petrol, diesel, and LPG. According to estimates cited by the times of India, OMC's are currently losing around 750 cr rupes daily on fuel sales. Industry experts and brokerage analysts cited by the Indian Express said the recent hikes may only partially offset losses in occurred by fuel retailers with some reports suggesting OMC's were earlier losing nearly 14 rupees per liter on petrol and over 40 rupees per liter on diesel amid the sharp surge in international crude prices. Indian Oil Corporation director Arvind Kumar recently termed the increase a very small rise and said Indian refiners are operating at more than 100% capacity to ensure uninterrupted fuel supply across the country. The Times of India reported.
