Petrol ranged from Rs 102.12 a litre in Delhi to Rs 115.69 in Hyderabad on August 5, while diesel ranged from Rs 95.20 to Rs 103.82. Sustained crude-price pressure could lift retail logistics costs and weigh on consumer spending.
Petrol and diesel rates were listed for six Indian cities as Brent hovered near $80 a barrel. Sustained elevated crude prices could raise India’s import bill, fuel inflation and domestic fuel costs, affecting consumer spending and retail logistics.
