13-May-2026

Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri ruled out any sudden increase in fuel prices. Clarifying on the assumption that petrol prices will rise suddenly because of Iran-US war especially when Assembly Elections are over, he highlighted how petrol and diesel prices have remained relatively stable in the past 4 years. “There won’t be sudden price hike for petrol after the election. There has been no price hike in petrol for the past four years. There are no dry-outs at petrol pumps, and LPG supply is more than enough,” the Minister explained.
