Experts’ opinion (Why are prices increasing?):

Due to the ongoing Iran war at the global level, the energy and oil supply system has been completely disrupted. The prices of crude oil and natural gas are continuously increasing in the international market. Government and private oil and gas companies have now gradually started passing on the increased burden of the international market on domestic consumers. This is the reason why in the last few days, the prices of petrol have seen a total increase of ₹ 7.35 per liter and that of diesel by ₹ 7.53 per liter.
