Fuel prices in India have been increased for the fourth time in less than two weeks, with petrol rising by Rs 2.61 per litre and diesel by Rs 2.71. The latest revision pushed petrol prices in New Delhi above the Rs 100 mark to Rs 102.12 per litre, while diesel climbed to Rs 95.20 per litre. State-run oil companies are continuing price adjustments to offset losses incurred after holding rates steady despite global crude oil prices crossing $100 per barrel. The hikes are largely linked to disruptions caused by the ongoing US-Iran conflict and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Analysts warn sustained increases could raise transportation costs and fuel broader inflation. (PC: India Today)
