Hardeep Singh Puri, minister of petroleum and natural gas of India, blamed the surging international oil prices behind the steep hike in fuel rates in India. “Oil prices are determined by global prices. There is a war-like situation in one part of the country. The oil companies will factor that in. We will take decisions in the best interest of our citizens,” he mentioned earlier.

Defending the steep hike in fuel prices in India, “I assure you all that there will be no shortage of crude oil. We will make sure that our energy requirements are met, even though 85 per cent of our requirements are dependent on imports for crude oil and 50-55 per cent on gas,” Puri added.
