Prices will rise further-
It is touted that the fuel prices are likely to rise further as because the price of Brent oil is still lingering around $78 a barrel.

About 80% of crude oil in India is imported, and in the current situation, where the rupee is on a falling spree, imports will only get costlier. Thus, making fuel prices all the more dearer.

Around mid of June last year, state owned oil firms have dumped the 15-year old practice of revising rates on the first and 16th of every month.

According to the data by the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell, between April and July this year, India imported crude oil worth Rs 2,640,30 crore (over $39 billion).
