Meanwhile, global crude oil prices remain an important factor for domestic fuel prices. Brent crude futures were trading 1.05% higher at $89.21 a barrel on Monday, after Brent had settled at $89.31 a barrel on Friday. Brent had declined by more than 5% over the previous week, while West Texas Intermediate crude slipped around 4%.
The report noted that India imports more than 85% of its crude oil requirements. A sustained increase in international crude prices could therefore raise the country's import bill and add to inflationary pressures, potentially increasing the possibility of future domestic fuel-price revisions.
Besides global crude prices, domestic petrol and diesel rates are influenced by central and state taxes, refining margins, freight and distribution expenses, and movements in the rupee against the US dollar.
