An employee fills the tank of a car with petrol as newly increased fuel prices are displayed at a Hindustan Petroleum fuel station in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on May 25, 2026. India's state-owned fuel retailers increase diesel prices by 2.71 rupees ($0.0283) per litre and petrol by 2.61 rupees, marking the fourth price adjustment in May. This change aims to address losses driven by higher crude costs due to the conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran. India, the world's third-biggest oil importer and consumer, is among the last major economies to adjust retail fuel prices following disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged citizens to reduce fuel consumption by using public transport, working from home, reducing overseas travel, and pausing gold purchases, as rising global energy prices impact the country's foreign exchange reserves.

A diamond necklace is displayed during a jewelry exhibition in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on May 21, 2026. The ongoing Middle East conflict is affecting India's gold and diamond economy through rising prices, supply-chain disruptions, and weaker consumer demand, according to industry reports and trade data. India, one of the world's largest gold importers and a global hub for diamond polishing, is facing pressure as geopolitical tensions drive up crude oil prices and disrupt international trade routes. Higher oil prices have weakened the Indian rupee and increased import costs for gold and precious stones. Reuters reports that India's trade deficit widened sharply in April 2026 as oil imports surged due to the conflict, while gold imports jumped by 84 percent. The conflict has also disrupted the Gulf market, a key destination for Indian jewelry retailers and exporters. Earlier this month, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged citizens to cut fuel consumption by using public transport, working from home, limiting overseas travel, and postponing gold purchases, as rising global energy prices continue to pressure the country's foreign exchange reserves.
