Wave of fuel price hikes: Gasoline and diesel prices soar for the third time in ten days

This morning (May 23, 2026), another rise in fuel prices was reported, marking the third price hike within a short period of only ten days. According to the DealsDhamaka channel, gasoline prices rose by 0.87 rupees per liter, while diesel prices jumped by 0.91 rupees per liter. The channel, which focuses on reports of deals and consumer economics, noted that "more price hikes are expected in the coming days."

The news was also confirmed by Twitter user RamTeluguTrader, who presents a critical position regarding current economic policy. According to him, "The heavy summer heat is already burdensome, and this price hike adds fuel to the fire of the price the ordinary citizen is required to pay."

In addition, RamTeluguTrader harshly criticized the continued export of fuels in parallel with local price hikes, arguing that "the taxpayer is forced to bear the burden of everything." The reports indicate an atmosphere of public frustration in light of the economic trend weighing on households.
