Petrol, Diesel Price – There could be a further respite for consumers as the prices are expected to go down further. Expert Anuj Gupta, Vice President (VP), Commodity and Currency Research at IIFL Securities said that the prices of crude oil could further come down in near term. This is why the prices would come down.

OPEC+ agreed on Thursday to gradually ease its oil output cuts from May, after the new US administration called on Saudi Arabia to keep energy affordable, Gupta said. The group, which has implemented deep cuts since a pandemic-induced oil price collapse in 2020, agreed to ease production curbs by 350,000 barrels per day (bpd) in May, another 350,000 bpd in June and further 400,000 bpd or so in July, he said.

He said that production growth will lead to easing of prices which may further bring down prices of diesel and petrol. Gupta said that if the prices of petrol and diesel come down, the consumers will benefit.
