00:02Just when you thought it couldn't get worse, it did
00:04We just got hit with another sudden fuel price hike
00:08That is two major shocks in less than a week
00:10Following the massive Rs.3 spike on May 15
00:14Oil companies just raised prices again by another Rs.90 per litre
00:18That is a staggering Rs.3.90 jump in just 5 days
00:23Pushing metros like Mumbai and Kolkata way past the Rs.100 mark
00:26Why the sudden double whammy?
00:29Geopolitical tensions in West Asia have triggered a massive energy crisis
00:33Blocking key shipping routes like the Strait of Hormuz
00:36Combine that with the end of US waivers on Russian oil
00:38And global crude has completely exploded
00:42And it is a domino effect
00:44CNG just went up too
00:45Import duties on gold and silver were hiked to 15%
00:49And transportation costs are soaring
00:52Expect your daily groceries and dairy bills to climb next
00:55Did inflation tighten its grip?
00:57Should the government cut fuel taxes?
00:59Or are you already cutting your daily budget?
