Any change seen in prices today?
The ongoing war between America and Iran is affecting many countries as many major sea routes including the strategically important ‘Strait of Hormuz’ have been disrupted. This has affected the supply of crude oil and LPG. After PM Modi said this, now it is also being speculated that the Central Government is going to increase the prices of petrol and diesel. However, even today on May 13, there is no change in fuel prices in the country.
There was no change in the prices of petrol and diesel on Wednesday also, while due to geopolitical tension in West Asia, huge fluctuations are being seen in the global oil markets.
