The country’s growing fuel prices are not going to go away anytime soon. The central government is in talks with a number of oil-exporting countries about oil supply and demand, but there is no chance of fast price relief.
According to ANI, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has expressed worries about oil pricing, supply, and demand to the main oil-producing countries, according to a source.
“As crude oil prices rise internationally, the petroleum ministry has called on the energy ministries of many countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Russia and others,”said a source.
