The Indian government is considering increasing petrol and diesel prices after a 4-year freeze. Global oil markets have been volatile since the February 28 attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran, which disrupted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran's subsequent retaliation added to the market instability. As a result, crude oil prices remain high, prompting the potential price hike.
