The government of India has decided not to increase retail petrol prices even as global crude oil prices crossed $100 per barrel amid geopolitical tensions. According to official sources, the move aims to shield consumers from rising fuel costs during the ongoing global energy uncertainty. At the same time, authorities have tightened LPG distribution rules by increasing the minimum gap for booking a domestic refill from 21 days to 25 days. The measure is intended to prevent hoarding and ensure fair supply of cooking gas cylinders across the country. (PC: X)
