Why it matters
Petrol is the primary fuel for two-wheelers, which account for over 70% of registered vehicles in India. A ₹1/litre revision moves the monthly cost for a 150cc commuter bike by roughly ₹75-90. Price revisions are politically sensitive and typically cluster outside state election cycles. OMC under-recoveries on petrol are now rare; the margin dynamics are more about OMC profitability than subsidy.
