A recent report by Systematix Group indicates that the Rs 3 increase in petrol and diesel prices may signal ongoing fuel price hikes, contributing to mounting inflationary pressures. WPI inflation is projected to exceed 10%, driven by rising fuel and energy costs, with April 2026 seeing a 42-month high of 8.3%.
The report highlights risks from potential El Nino impacts and elevated crude oil prices, which could remain above USD 100 per barrel, affecting economic momentum.
