State-owned oil companies have hinted at further increases in petrol and diesel prices due to ongoing supply disruptions in the global crude oil market. In the last 9 days, prices have already risen by nearly 5 rupees per liter across three hikes.

India has diversified its oil sources to 40 locations to ensure supply security but remains focused on accelerating green energy transitions. https://sambad.in/business/again-petrol-rate-will-increase-11869055 #creator program
