Prices of petrol and diesel may increase
Prices of petrol and diesel are directly related to crude oil. India buys more than 80 percent of its needs from other countries. In such a situation, if crude remains expensive for a long time, then India will have to pay more for the new shipment. In such a situation, crude will also be expensive in the domestic basket, due to which oil companies can increase the prices of petrol and diesel. Let us know that even after crude became cheaper, the prices of petrol and diesel in the country did not decrease. Petrol is being sold up to Rs 90 per liter in some states of the country.
