- Following the Rs 2 per kg hike on May 15, CNG now costs Rs 80.09 per kg in Delhi and Rs 88.70 per kg in Noida, Greater Noida, and Ghaziabad, affecting CNG-run autos and private vehicle operators.
- State-Owned Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd, and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd kept prices unchanged for 11 weeks before passing on costs as input surges rendered operations financially unsustainable.
- Prices remained frozen since April 2022 to shield consumers from international oil price shocks following Russia's invasion of Ukraine; crude oil imports averaged USD 69 per barrel before the West Asia war, later spiking to USD 113-114.
