The global fuel energy price index stood at 153.15 index points in May 2025, up from 100 in the base year 2016. Figures decreased that month due to lower heating fuel demand and a fall in crude oil prices. The fuel energy index includes prices for crude oil, natural gas, coal, and propane. Supply constraints across multiple commodities The global natural gas price index surged nearly 11-fold, and the global coal price index rose almost seven-fold from summer 2020 to summer 2022. This notable escalation was largely attributed to the Russia-Ukraine war, exerting increased pressure on the global supply chain. Global ramifications of the Russia-Ukraine war The invasion of Ukraine by Russia played a role in the surge of global inflation rates. Notably, Argentina bore the brunt, experiencing a hyperinflation rate of 92 percent in 2022. The war also exerted a significant impact on global gross domestic product (GDP) growth. Saudi Arabia emerged with a notable increase of nearly three percent, as several Western nations shifted their exports from Russia to Middle Eastern countries due to the sanctions imposed on the former.

On July 14, 2025, the price of ultra-low sulfur unleaded petrol (gasoline) in the United Kingdom averaged 133.95 pence per liter. This compared to 141.1 pence per liter for diesel. Diesel prices were consistently higher than petrol/gasoline prices throughout this period, although the margin varied. Reasons for such differences in pricing lie in the refining process and molecular makeup of the products, with diesel requiring more complex refining processes and being an overall heavier liquid. As motor fuel pricing in the UK is not regulated by a monitoring body, there may also be notable differences in prices between retailers and regions. Supermarkets provide lowest fuel prices in the UK In the UK, much of the motor fuel is sold through supermarkets. Large supermarkets, or hypermarkets, account for more than 40 percent of all motor fuel sales in the country. The reason for their popularity often lies in the fact that they offer lower average prices. In the last four years, regular petrol/gasoline sold at supermarkets was up to six pence per liter cheaper than the national average. How UK fuel prices compare to the rest of the world Tied as they are to crude oil prices, motor fuels are generally cheapest in major producing countries, such as Iran, Venezuela, and Russia. In Europe, costs of importing the raw or finished products, in addition to taxes and levies, may hike up pump prices significantly. The UK is often among the countries with the highest petrol/gasoline prices, alongside other large European car markets such as France and Germany.

The 2025 annual OPEC basket price stood at ***** U.S. dollars per barrel as of June. This would be lower than the 2024 average, which amounted to ***** U.S. dollars. The abbreviation OPEC stands for Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and includes Algeria, Angola, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, and the United Arab Emirates. The aim of the OPEC is to coordinate the oil policies of its member states. It was founded in 1960 in Baghdad, Iraq. The OPEC Reference Basket The OPEC crude oil price is defined by the price of the so-called OPEC (Reference) basket. This basket is an average of prices of the various petroleum blends that are produced by the OPEC members. Some of these oil blends are, for example: Saharan Blend from Algeria, Basra Light from Iraq, Arab Light from Saudi Arabia, BCF 17 from Venezuela, et cetera. By increasing and decreasing its oil production, OPEC tries to keep the price between a given maxima and minima. Benchmark crude oil The OPEC basket is one of the most important benchmarks for crude oil prices worldwide. Other significant benchmarks are UK Brent, West Texas Intermediate (WTI), and Dubai Crude (Fateh). Because there are many types and grades of oil, such benchmarks are indispensable for referencing them on the global oil market. The 2025 fall in prices was the result of weakened demand outlooks exacerbated by extensive U.S. trade tariffs.

Lowest ever oil prices during coronavirus pandemic In 2020, the coronavirus pandemic resulted in crude oil prices hitting a major slump as oil demand drastically declined following lockdowns and travel restrictions. Initial outlooks and uncertainty surrounding the course of the pandemic brought about a disagreement between two of the largest oil producers, Russia and Saudi Arabia, in early March. Bilateral talks between global oil producers ended in agreement on April 13th, with promises to cut petroleum output and hopes rising that these might help stabilize the oil price in the coming weeks. However, with storage facilities and oil tankers quickly filling up, fears grew over where to store excess oil, leading to benchmark prices seeing record negative prices between April 20 and April 22, 2020. How crude oil prices are determined As with most commodities, crude oil prices are impacted by supply and demand, as well as inventories and market sentiment. However, as oil is most often traded in future contracts (where a contract is agreed upon while product delivery will follow in the next two to three months), market speculation is one of the principal determinants for oil prices. Traders make conclusions on how production output and consumer demand will likely develop over the coming months, leaving room for uncertainty. Spot prices differ from futures in so far as they reflect the current market price of a commodity.

India's imports of petroleum, crude oil, and its products were estimated to be over 14 trillion Indian rupees in the financial year 2024. These imports represented a decrease compared to the previous year. Petroleum imports in India India is one of the largest oil importers and is highly dependent on imported crude oil. In fiscal year 2023, petroleum, oil, and petroleum products constituted around 30 percent of the major imports in India, and the import volume of petroleum products was estimated to be about 44 million metric tons. During the same period, the volume of crude oil imported into the country stood at around 232 million metric tons. Global oil companies India's substantial petroleum imports directly influence the nation's consumption patterns. The import volume reflects the critical role petroleum and its products play in meeting the country's energy demands. The consumption volume of petroleum products in the country amounted to around 223 million metric tons in fiscal year 2023.

In fiscal year 2021, the average price of crude oil in India decreased by over 38 percent compared with the previous year. Nonetheless, after the depreciation of the Indian rupee after fiscal year 2012, the prices of petroleum products and crude oil increased within the country.

In the fiscal year 2024, the net worth of ONGC was around 3.1 trillion Indian rupees. India was the third largest consumer of oil globally in 2017. The oil and gas sector was one of the eight core industries in the south Asian country. Furthermore, it played a major role for the development of the economy. In 2018, major consumption of natural gas in the nation came through the fertilizer industry. ONGC was the largest oil and gas exploration and production company in India. With a net worth of nearly two trillion Indian rupees in financial year 2020, the state-owned enterprise produced about 70 percent of the country’s crude oil, and over 80 percent of its natural gas. Natural gas in IndiaIn 2019, the production of offshore natural gas by public sector units in India amounted to around 52 million metric standard cubic meters per day. The onshore production, however, remained comparatively low. With robust economic growth, foreign direct investments in the Indian oil and petroleum sector were estimated to increase exponentially. Energy sector in IndiaIndia has had a pronounced growth in energy sector investments in recent years. Coal energy, one of the primary sources of electricity within the nation, could presumably face rising challenges from water shortages and the growth of low-cost renewables. Government policies have been adapted to suit and encourage eco-friendly energy principles. In addition, decreased on and offshore prices of renewable resources are likely to weaken the fossil fuel industry even further.
