The primary gasoline retailers in India are Indian Oil Corp, Bharat Petroleum Corp, and Hindustan Petroleum Corp.
Despite a significant increase in global oil prices since the conflict in Ukraine began last month and a falling Indian rupee, the latest price increase means consumers will pay less than 1% more at the pump, according to a Reuters report, adding that the country imports about 85% of its oil needs from overseas markets.
Local diesel and gasoline costs are inextricably connected to worldwide pricing, which rise in lockstep with crude oil prices.
