Petrol, diesel price hikes could push up inflation and transport costs, says Crisil
Rising fuel prices are poised to reignite inflation, a Crisil report warns. Expect higher costs for transport, logistics, and manufacturing, directly impacting food and consumer goods. Direct fuel price hikes could add nearly 48 basis points to inflation, with broader effects on supply chains. While GST cuts offer some relief, persistently high oil prices remain a concern for the economy.
