India - the world's third-biggest oil importer and consumer - is one of the last major economies to raise retail fuel prices following the disruption to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz by the war started by US-Israeli attacks on Iran.
State-run Indian Oil Corp, Hindustan Petroleum Corp and Bharat Petroleum Corp, which together control more than 90 percent of India's 103,000 fuel stations, tend to set diesel and petrol prices in tandem.
