Diesel crunch is stranding Indian truckers and slowing goods across the country

Private fuel stations have reportedly cut sales or raised prices, while state-run companies struggle with demand and resulting shortages. The ripple effect is slowing the movement of goods nationwide, and a modest price increase is expected soon—though it may not fully offset losses for fuel firms.
