In his speech on Sunday, the Prime Minister also appealed to people to avoid buying gold for next year, postpone travel abroad, and conserve fuel as global oil prices continue to rise due to the ongoing conflict.

Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri had earlier hinted at the possibility of a revision in fuel prices. Speaking at a Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) event in New Delhi on Tuesday, Puri said the government will eventually have to take a decision on increasing prices of petroleum products like petrol and diesel.

Oil companies also expressed concerns about facing increasing losses, adding that India was among the few countries that had kept fuel prices stable so far. State-owned enterprises kept prices steady for 11 weeks despite a sharp rise in input costs, but were eventually forced to bear part of the burden once operations became financially unsustainable, the agency said.
