One of the key reasons for the fuel price hike rally pause is reduced crude oil price in the international market. The global crude oil price has reduced from $77 a barrel a few weeks ago to $69 a barrel, down by over 10%. The price slump in the international market comes as OPEC+ has decided to increase the production of crude oil.

With OPEC reaching an agreement to increase crude production, oil prices around the world are likely to remain soft. This could eventually result in a drop in oil prices in India. after a long period.

The previous period when oil marketing companies paused the oil price hike rally was during the state assembly elections a few months back. The OMCs then halted the oil price hike for 41 days till May 1.

Petrol and diesel prices have increased incessantly since April 2020. Petrol prices have increased by 32.25 per litre in Delhi. Similarly, diesel prices have increased by 27.58 per litre in the national capital.
