What to watch

  • Further rupee depreciation versus the US dollar, raising landed crude costs.
  • Any revision to petrol or diesel excise duties, state VAT, or oil-marketing company pricing guidance.
  • Widening gaps in delivery fees, cab fares or freight-rate indices across metros.
  • Fuel-demand data indicating either resilient consumption or demand destruction in high-price regions.
