The reason is the blockage in the Strait of Hormuz
There is a blockage in the Strait of Hormuz due to the Iran-US war, due to which the prices of crude oil have increased in the global market. This has also affected India’s government oil companies (OMCs), because they are selling fuel at relatively lower prices to domestic consumers. This has increased the financial pressure on these companies.
Meanwhile, let us tell you that on June 7, government oil companies have increased the price of domestic LPG cylinder by Rs 29. This is the second time since the beginning of the crisis in the Middle East, that the prices of LPG have been increased.
