Oil prices have a considerable influence on the consumer price index (CPI), which is the most generally used indicator of inflation, therefore an increase in crude oil prices will drive inflation and significantly impede economic development. The overall index of the CPI was 6.07 percent in February, 0.2 percent higher than in January. "For India, the main implications of this trajectory of Brent crude prices is on CPI inflation and the current account. CPI inflation rose to 6.07% YoY in Feb'22 broadly in line with our expectations, and will likely stay close to those levels in Mar-Apr'22 amid the elevated Brent crude oil prices, but will moderate sharply in the Jul-Sep'22 quarter as additional global supplies cause Brent crude oil prices to decline," ICICI Securities has said in a research report.

As a result of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, crude oil and gas prices are expected to stay high, potentially increasing inflationary tensions. As a result, oil-market corporations are expected to raise fuel prices, which have been steady since November.
