What is Causing the Price Stability?
The steady fuel prices in Kolkata and other cities reflect the global and national economic climate. While international crude oil prices continue to experience fluctuations, domestic fuel prices in India have remained stable, thanks to the government’s pricing policies and the current supply-demand balance. This stability provides much-needed relief to consumers, especially in a time of economic uncertainty.
Experts predict that the fuel prices may remain stable for the next few days, barring any sudden changes in global oil markets. However, it is always important to keep an eye on international trends that can influence domestic prices.
