India fuel prices surge amid regional conflict

India has raised petrol and diesel prices three times in May, with prices jumping nearly 4.8 rupees per litre since May 15 due to elevated global crude oil costs linked to the US-Israel war on Iran. The repeated hikes are affecting transportation, hospitality, and consumer goods sectors across the country and drawing political criticism.
