India's fuel retailers lose nearly $2bn shielding customers from energy shock

India's state-owned fuel retailers, which control approximately 90% of the market, incurred losses of around 181.49 billion rupees ($1.90 billion) during the quarter ending June 2026. These losses were attributed to their efforts to protect consumers from rising energy costs caused by the U.S.-Iran conflict. The retailers adjust fuel prices in line with government directives, effectively serving as intermediaries for state-controlled pricing policies.
