India to raise petrol, diesel retail prices after 4-month hiatus

The dealers, who declined to identified, said they had received information from oil companies about the retail price for Tuesday.India's three state-run fuel retailers - Indian Oil Corp, Bharat Petroleum Corp and Hindustan Petroleum Corp - dominate fuel retailing in India, and tend to move their prices together. The companies could not be reached for comment outside normal working hours.

The latest price increase means consumers will pay less than 1 per cent more at the pump, despite a substantial increase in global oil prices since the conflict in Ukraine began last month, and a falling Indian rupee. A litre of petrol in Delhi will cost 96.21 rupees and diesel will be sold at 87.47 rupees on Tuesday.Indian state-run oil companies have not raised prices since Nov 4, a move observers said had aided Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party in crucial state assembly elections.

India, the world's third biggest oil importer and consumer, ships in about 85 per cent of its oil needs from overseas markets. Its local diesel and petrol prices are linked to international prices of the two fuels, which directionally follow increases in crude oil prices.
