Why haven’t prices increased in India yet and what will be the prospects in future?
India imports about 85 percent of its crude oil requirement from abroad. Despite crude oil becoming expensive in the international market, Indian oil companies have kept the retail prices stable even after suffering losses, due to which the general public has got a big relief from inflation. However, market analysts believe that if the war between America and Iran prolongs and Brent crude remains above $90 per barrel in the global market, then government oil companies may be forced to increase domestic prices by ₹2 to ₹5 per liter in the coming days.
