Why didn't prices rise today?

When international oil prices surged in May, oil companies raised fuel prices by ₹3 to ₹4 per litre to offset their losses. Generally, oil companies maintain market balance by keeping prices stable rather than immediately passing the burden of minor global fluctuations on to consumers. Admittedly, Brent crude prices in the global market are currently hovering around $90–$91 per barrel, though prices have remained stable. This contrasts with the significant volatility observed in earlier months, driven by escalating tensions between Iran, the US, and Israel, as well as the prospect of a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
