Recent increase in petrol and diesel prices

The prices of petrol and diesel were increased for the fourth time in the span of just under two weeks, on Monday, May 25, with the total increase in petrol and diesel prices in major Indian cities being ₹7.5 per litre. With the latest increase in fuel rates, the price of petrol in Delhi went up to ₹102.12 per litre and that of diesel was revised to ₹95.20 per litre.

What is the reason behind increase in petrol and diesel prices? 

This rise in fuel prices is due to the volatility in international crude oil markets amid growing tension in West Asia in relation to the Strait of Hormuz. Prices of crude oil in the international market have been on the higher side in the past few weeks and hence there has been a need to pass on the cost to consumers.
