Fuel prices in India remain unchanged, but concerns over global energy markets are influencing car buyers. The ongoing West Asia conflict has pushed crude oil and natural gas prices higher, raising fears of future fuel hikes. As a result, more consumers are exploring and inquiring about electric vehicles, with dealers reporting increased enquiries. EVs offer lower running costs, though adoption remains gradual due to high upfront prices and limited charging infrastructure. Globally, EVs are already reducing oil demand significantly. Meanwhile, automakers, including Tata Motors and luxury brands, are increasing petrol and diesel car prices from April due to rising input and logistics costs.
