Petrol, diesel and LPG prices stayed unchanged on Monday, 7 September, even as international crude oil prices moved higher. Brent crude rose 18 cents to trade at $96.46 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate gained 38 cents to $91.86 per barrel.

The unchanged rates offer relief to consumers facing uncertainty over fuel prices. The report links the rise in crude prices to escalating clashes between Iran and the United States. It also states that crude prices have increased by about 60%, while petrol and diesel prices in India have risen by up to 8.50%.
