Petrol, Diesel Rates May Ease As Cheaper Crude Arrives: What Hardeep Puri’s Signal Means For India

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.
