The latest movement in crude oil prices in the international market has once again increased the concern of common consumers and drivers. After the increasing geopolitical tension in the Middle East and US President Donald Trump’s statement that there is no need for any agreement with Iran, Brent Crude Oil has jumped by about 3.3 percent in the global market to the level of $ 95.30 to 95.82 per barrel, while American WTI crude is trading at $ 88.20 to $ 88.74 per barrel. Has been. Despite this rise in crude oil, India’s government oil marketing companies (IOCL, BPCL and HPCL) have given a big relief to the general public today i.e. on the morning of Friday, 13 November 2026. There has been no major change in the retail prices of petrol and diesel in major metros and cities of the country today and the rates have remained stable.

India imports more than 85 percent of its total crude oil needs, hence the increase in the price of Brent crude in the international market has a direct impact on the country’s import bill and the margins of oil companies. According to energy experts, Brent crude had gone above $ 104 per barrel in the beginning of November, which had come down to around $ 92 in recent days, but due to Trump’s latest statement and increasing uncertainty regarding the Strait of Hormuz, it has seen a surge again. However, market analysts believe that since crude oil exports from the Middle East are gradually normalizing and Indian oil companies are also buying cheaper oil from Russian and alternative sources, there is little possibility of an immediate increase in the prices of petrol and diesel at domestic pumps.
