AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoFuel Shock, Fast Ripple: India’s first petrol/diesel hike in over four years hit Friday, with petrol up ₹3/litre and diesel up ₹3/litre (plus CNG up ₹2/kg in key cities), as West Asia-linked crude volatility and a weaker rupee squeeze oil marketing companies—prompting transport unions, truckers, and residents to talk fare hikes and higher food costs. Markets & FX Pressure: Stocks slid as crude pushed above $109 and inflation worries returned; the rupee stayed under pressure on weaker capital inflows and a widening current account gap. OMC Loss Math: Analysts say the move only partially covers under-recoveries, while further rupee weakness could erase gains. Politics Turns Loud: Opposition leaders framed it as election-timing “vasooli,” while state leaders like Tamil Nadu’s CM Vijay called it “unacceptable” and demanded a rollback. Ad/Media Industry Note: IAB’s Project Eidos released Campaign Data Standards 1.0 for public comment, aiming to reduce campaign data chaos across platforms.
