Trends on SGX Nifty indicate a negative opening for the index in India. The Nifty futures were trading at 15,778 on the Singaporean Exchange. Hang Seng, KOSPI, KOSDAQ, Topix, and Nikkei 225 were down with losses on Thursday morning.

Petrol, diesel prices hiked

Fuel prices were hiked today. In the sixth hike of this month, petrol has become dearer by 35 paise in Delhi at Rs 100.56 and diesel was up by 9 paise at Rs 89.62 per litre each. In Mumbai, petrol is being retailed at Rs 106.59 per litre, and diesel is available at Rs 97.18 per litre.

The increase is the 37th since May 4, when state-owned oil companies resumed rate revisions after an 18-day hiatus caused by assembly elections in states such as West Bengal.

India growth forecast cut

Fitch Ratings on Wednesday cut India’s growth forecast to 10 percent for the current fiscal, from 12.8 percent estimated earlier, due to slowing recovery post second wave of COVID-19, and said rapid vaccination could support a sustainable revival in business and consumer confidence.
