Minor Variations in Other Cities
International oil and gas prices have increased due to the disruption of fuel supply lines caused by the prolonged conflict in West Asia. Industry sources, however, state that the impact of retail inflation in India has stayed under control. Excise tax reductions and other government initiatives have helped protect consumers from the dramatic increase in fuel prices worldwide.

Due mostly to rising food and gasoline prices, India’s Consumer Price Index (CPI)-based inflation increased marginally to 3.4% in March from 3.2% in February. In contrast to worldwide trends, the overall impact of inflation has been low.
Inflation Trends in India
With expectations of a potential diplomatic agreement between the US and Iran that could lower crude oil prices in the future, market mood has improved globally. Fuel costs in India should stay steady until then, with very slight daily fluctuations.
