The rise in prices of diesel may affect the prices of several commodities as it is mostly used in the transportation of food and agricultural products. An increase in its price may lead to higher inflation.

There has been a debate over whether petrol and diesel should be brought under the purview of Goods and Services Tax (GST). The Opposition has demanded that fuel prices be brought under GST as that would bring down the cost of both petrol and diesel. However, so far there has been no progress on that front.
