00:44reliance on oil imports from the region.

01:01high demand.
01:03This is how market settlement works.

01:13As a result, many consumers rush to fill up their tanks, which could further strain supply.
01:19Tomorrow, 17th of March is a very crucial date for us to watch because energy and commerce
01:25ministries will announce whether they will keep to cap diesel and wholesale prices.
