What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

The government lifted all emergency restrictions on the retail sale of petrol and diesel to commercial buyers starting July 1, 2026. This policy change unwound strict rationing measures implemented in June due to escalating conflict in West Asia that threatened global supply chains. The previous rationing had caused a massive price disparity between bulk and retail fuel, heavily straining state-run fuel retailers.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The policy pivot ended the emergency intervention designed to protect the domestic fuel network from global energy trade disruptions. Although crude oil prices have dropped below $70 a barrel, state-owned fuel retailers are still recovering earlier losses. Diesel, in particular, remains under-recovered, with losses estimated at around ₹8-10 a litre.

Indian Oil Corporation and other Oil Marketing Companies are currently managing fuel availability and distribution across Gujarat.
