Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri says petrol and diesel rates in India may ease once recently bought cheaper crude reaches refiners, after global oil prices cooled and Brent slipped below $80 a barrel. The signal matters because India imports most of its crude, so any sustained fall can filter through to motorists, freight users and inflation. But the relief is unlikely to be immediate, because fuel prices depend on inventory cycles, logistics and how quickly oil companies pass on lower input costs.
