Middle east war hits Indian fuel retailers: OMCs losing up to Rs 30 per litre, says report

Times of India 1 hr ago·16 Oct 2026, 3:05 pm

Indian oil marketing firms are grappling with significant losses, facing Rs 26 loss per litre for petrol and Rs 30 for diesel. The turmoil in West Asia has led to skyrocketing procurement and freight costs, rising eightfold, which heavily influences overall expenditures. Compounded by interruptions in crude shipments from the Middle East, these conditions create ongoing financial strain, even as refining margins stay strong.
