India’s wholesale fuel prices surged 24.71% year-on-year in April 2026, sharply picking up from a 1.05% increase in the previous month and marking the second consecutive month of growth. It was also the fastest rise since September 2022, driven by a sharp increase in global energy costs following the war in Iran, which disrupted supply flows through the Strait of Hormuz and heightened concerns over crude oil availability. Price pressures intensified across all major fuel categories, with high-speed diesel (HSD) rising 25.19% (vs 3.26% in March), petrol climbing 32.40% (vs 2.5%), and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) increasing 10.92% after declining 1.54% previously. On a monthly basis, wholesale fuel prices jumped 18.22%, accelerating sharply from a 4.20% rise in March. source: Office of the Economic Advisor, India
