Petrol Diesel Price 16 May: Why did petrol and diesel prices increased?
It should be noted that the Strait of Hormuz has been closed for nearly two months due to the Iran-US war. It should be noted that 20 percent of the world’s crude oil needs pass through this route. Due to the current situation, crude oil supplies have completely stalled, leading to prices exceeding $100 per barrel. Before the war began, crude oil prices hovered around $70 per barrel. This sharp rise in crude oil prices was causing significant losses for oil marketing companies. As a result, everyone began expecting a price increase.
